>
> STEP 7 - Go Someplace
>
> To travel to a distant POI, follow these instructions:
>
> A. Select the SEARCH button at the top left of the screen.
>
> B. A list of categories appears. Select one.
>
> C. A SEARCH FIELD appears at the top of the screen. A KEYPAD appears at the
> bottom. Between them is a scrollable menu of POIs in alphabetical order.
> (If
> you wish to hide the KEYPAD, select the small DISPLAY RESULTS button inside

>
> D. You will have three options:
>
> 1)  Select any one of the POIs, or 2)  Type the POI name in the SEARCH
> field
> and select SEARCH, or 3) Select the DICTATE key at the bottom of the keypad
> and follow the verbal instructions.
>
> NOTICE: If the name of a POI contains a number (like "Ballroom 1"), speak
> the name only, as the speech function may misunderstand certain numbers.
> You
> may then select from a short list of POIs containing that name.
>
> E. A window appears containing the name of the POI followed by more
> information about it.
>
> F. Beneath the information window is a row of three BUTTONS:
>
> 1 "Favorite" lets you save the POI for quick future reference.
>
> 2 "Go To" activates a routing tone which guides you to the POI.
>
