No Names In Nav Address Book

[Dandydon]

My car is a 2012 Gen Tech and I just discovered that the nav address book has no field for holding the name of a destination, other than Home and 4 Favorite Points.

How can it be useful for looking up a destination when you can only locate it if you already know and remember the address? Can't imagine why Lexicon would design a system like that.

Any thoughts?

The system does store 'Previous Destinations' so if you input it once manually you can recall it from that menu.

Yes, thanks, and I understand that.

But how does seeing a list of street names and numbers you have previously entered help you figure out which one you now wish to navigate to, without a name to identify it?

Stop the presses!

I found the answer to my own question about there being no name in the nav address book. It's a non-problem. Here's an edited excerpt from pages 258 – 262 in the Driver Information System User’s Manual:

Genesis Navigation Procedures

Editing Address Book entries
When saving a destination in the Nav Address List, the system automatically uses the address as the destination name. You can edit the name and assign a different one as follows: (Note: The name of the entry in the categories Home and Work cannot be edited.)

Editing the name

• Select the Name data field in the editing menu.
• The speller appears and you can now edit the name to change it to a more meaningful one.
• Proceed as described in the chapter “PHONE”, section “Entering a name" on page 197
• To complete editing: Select the menu item OK.
• If a Address Book entry with this name already exists, you will see an appropriate message.
• To close the message: Press the Controller.
