Using input masks
Overview
Input
masks
are used to select
an
address or enter a
name
or numbers.
There are two kinds
of
input
ma
s
ks
. The in
put
masks used
to
search for
and
call up information
in the unit (e.g
"select" an address) and input
masks where
"free text" can
be
entered.
Input masks
appear
in a wide range
of
menus
but their operation
is
almost identical. The high-
lighting colour of the available function keys de-
pends
on
which
menu
the
input
mask was called
up
from.
Input
masks
for selecting a
saved
entry
These
input
masks can be found in the naviga-
tion for selecting a target address
[rom the avail-
able navigation data. Each entry limits the
se
lec-
tion of available entries further
=>
page 62,
"I
nput
windows for navigation" or
=>
page 114,
"Searching for an entry
in
the telephone book,,7).
Input
masks
for
"free
text input"
Free text entry allows any letter,
number
,
and
special character
to
be entered in any combina-
tion at any time.
All
special characters are always
available for each letter. Touching the
(QK)
func-
tion
key
will apply the character sequence as
it
appears in the input line.
You
can accept a
name
offered by the unit or allocate your own name.
Selecting
special
characters
based
on
letters
In
input
masks, a
numb
er of letters are also
marked with a small
tTian
gle " T ". This indicates
that special characters based on this letter can
be selected.
Keep
the function key pressed until a pop-up
window appears with the special character.
Ac-
cept the desired character
by
touching the
input
line - the pop-up window will be closed.
If
no
entries are
made
, the
pop-up
window
is
closed
automatically after a
few
seconds.
Some special characters can also be "written
out
".
Thus, instead of the German special char-
acters
"A", "0",
and
"0", the sequence of charac-
ters
"AE",
"
UE",
and
"OE"
are recognised by the
navigation system.
Other special characters can
be ignored, e.g. instead of
"E"
,
"E",
or
"E",
a
normal
"E"
is
recognised by the nav
ig
ation
system. "
