Operate left-handed

If you are left-handed, you will probably want to use 'Operate left-handed'

controls, the map zoom control and 'Done' and 'Cancel' buttons on the left side of the screen where

possible. You will then be able to tap on them more conveniently without your left hand obscuring

the screen. To revert to the original button placement, choose the preference 'Operate right-

Keyboard preferences

Choose 'Keyboard preferences'

scrolling lists), and to choose between alphabetic (ABCD), typewriter (QWERTY) and French

(AZERTY) layouts.

Name preferences

You can adjust the way road names are displayed on the maps with 'Name preferences'

There are four check boxes shown:

Show house numbers prefixed

Tick this to display addresses with house numbers in front of their street names, e.g. '112 Oxford

street' rather than 'Oxford street 112'.

De-emphasize E-roads

Tick this to use local road numbering in preference to European road numbering, e.g. 'A10/E35' is

preferred to 'E35/A10'.

Show street names on map

Tick this to show the names of roads and side streets on the map while you are driving, provided

the current map scale is appropriate and there is room.

Show next highway

Tick this to show the name of the next highway to look for; it is displayed near the top right hand

corner of the screen.
