For example Key West in Florida will be found if you enter ‘Ke W’ or even ‘We K’
(any word order will do).
You do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the
base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and N.I.C.E 430 will search
for all their combinations in the database (e.g. for the Canadien town ‘Déléage’ you
only need to type ‘Deleage’, and the rest is done by the program).
As you start typing, N.I.C.E 430 will calculate the number of settlements matching
your pattern(s). This number is shown at the right end of the input line. If all the
matching city names can fit on one screen, the sound played when hitting the key
will be different, and N.I.C.E 430 will show you all the results in a list. You can select
the one you are looking for by tapping the appropriate list item.
Note: When more than 300 matching items (a list of more than 60 pages) exist for
the entered pattern(s), N.I.C.E 430 stops searching, and displays ‘>300’ at the right
end of the input line. Enter more letters to narrow the list.
Note: When the name of the settlement contains a character that is not available on
the keyboard (e.g. apostrophe or dash), N.I.C.E 430 considers it a space that splits
the word. That is why you can search for ‘Alleyn-Et-Cawood’ with all the following
search criteria: ‘A E C’, ‘Et A’, or ‘Al Ca’.
Tip: If you have finished entering the street name and the matching names are still
on more than one page, just tap Done, and select your desired settlement from the
list. Turn the pages with the arrow buttons in the bottom right corner.
Tip: In case you are looking for a city name that has more than one word, you can
reduce the list of matches faster if you enter a few letters from each word.
Note: If any of the settlements listed has named suburbs or numbered districts that
also appear separately in the map, a Show districts button will appear in the bottom
left corner. Tap this button to list the suburbs together with the main settlements.
Now the button turns to Hide districts, and tapping it will return to the original, shorter
result list.
