You do not need to enter „umlauts. In place of an „Ä simply enter „A, instead of
„Ö enter „O, instead of „Ü enter „U. For example, if your destination is located in
„Köln, Germany, just enter „K O L N.
You do not need to enter spaces and hyphens. Instead, simply click the empty field to
the left of the white triangle (at the bottom, third button from the right).
If you make a mistake, click the backspace key to delete the wrong entry.
Depending on the version of your software and depending on the map material you may
see the pre-select for the country at the right above. The last settings will be saved. If
you select "All Countries", you can enter places without knowing the country. This is
helpful in border areas sometimes.
