Appendix66Using Diacritical MarksThe European version of the StreetPilot 2610/2650 supports diacritical marks commonly used in manyEuropean languages. Diacritical marks are added to letters to indicate a special phonetic value thatdistinguishes it from an otherwise identical letter. The following letter/diacritic combinations, and specialcharacters, are supported in your StreetPilot:À Á Â Ã Ä Å Ç ÈÉ Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï ÐÑ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö Ø ÙÚ Û Ü Ý Ÿ Þ ßLigatures are not displayed, but are instead converted to separate characters. For example, “Æ” or “æ”appears on the StreetPilot as “AE.” Similarly, “Œ” or “œ” appears on the StreetPilot as “OE.” The “ß”character is displayed as “SS” on the StreetPilot.Letters with diacritical marks are sorted together with those without diacritics. For example, the “Ç” issorted in the StreetPilot’s alphabet as a “C,” and the “Ð” is sorted as a “D.” This means that sorted lists maycontain a mix of diacritic marks for a given letter. Also note that the “Þ” character appears at the end of thealphabet on the StreetPilot.When searching for a city or point of interest (POI) that includes these special characters in its name, yoursearch proceeds as if the base letter and the same letter with diacritical marks are identical. In other words,when searching for a city/POI that includes E, È, É, Ê or Ë in the name, simply enter “E” or whicheverdiacritic version appears and proceed to the next character in the name. As you continue to enter additionalcharacters, the appropriate character appears when the correct city/POI name is selected. You can observethis by using the FIND key to select the following cities:Appendix C: Using DiacriticalMarksAs you continue to enter each character, previouslyentered characters may change to appear with orwithout diacritical marks. Once the desired name isdisplayed, select OK, and then select the desired name.An information page will appear.When finding cities, enter each character using the baseletter (or whatever corresponding letter with diacriticalmarks appears), then proceed to the next character.
