To simplify the destination entry procedure, the speller entry interface has been developed for the navigation system of the CIC.

The menu located at the top right, next to the speller, shows the last three place names entered, which can also be selected at any time.

Navigation destinations can also be entered based on their ZIP code using the speller symbol 1@+.

After entering several letters, a preview map will be shown in the assistant window. This makes it easier to select the desired destination. This function is particularly useful for identifying place names that share the same name and/or appear several times in one town, city or country.

The map shown in the assistance window is independent of the main map. Both the scale as perspective can be adjusted separately from each other. This setting is made under the Options menu.

Compared to the CCC, entering the destination using the voice recognition system has been made considerably easier. Many new commands are now possible using the voice recognition system.
