Route searching
You can search for a route in various ways.
The following route search methods are
available.
• “Address search” (page 8)
• “Home search” (page 9)
• “POI search” (page 10)
• “Intersection search” (page 11)
• “City center search” (page 11)

Address search
Address search allows you to set the destination
by entering the address information such as
house number, street name, etc.
Note on the state selection
The system recognizes the state you usually drive in
and sets it as default, so that you do not need to enter
the same state name at each address search.
When GPS detects that the current position is not in
the default state, the state selection display
automatically appears, allowing you to set the desired
state.
