Specify destination with free text searching

A destination can be set in different ways in the navigation system* - with free text searching, for example, a search can be made using phone numbers, postcodes, streets, cities, coordinates and points of interest (POI1).

The on-screen keyboard can be used to type most characters and to search for destinations.

When the map is shown, expand the tools field using the down arrow on the left-hand side and press Set dest.

N58,1234   E12,5678 (without spaces)
58,1234N   12,5678E (with the point of the compass after the coordinate)
58,1234-12,5678 (with hyphen without point of the compass)

You can use a comma [] instead of a full stop [.] if you prefer.
