Choosing which search to use

The following two types of search are available:

 Quick search

Start typing your destination, place or POI to immediately see a list of street names, places and

POIs that match.

 Step by step search

Find your destination in easy steps. For an address, enter the city, then the street, then the house

number. For a POI, enter where you want to search, then the type of POI you want to search for.

Both types of search give the same result, so choose the type of search that you find easiest to use.

You can change the type of search in System in the Settings menu.
