Appendix66Using Diacritical MarksThe European version of the StreetPilot 2620/2660 supports diacritical marks commonly used inmany European 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” charac-ter 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,your search proceeds as if the base letter and the same letter with diacritical marks are identical. In otherwords, when searching for a city/POI that includes E, È, É, Ê or Ë in the name, simply enter “E” or which-ever diacritic version appears and proceed to the next character in the name. As you continue to enteradditional characters, the appropriate character appears when the correct city/POI name is selected. Youcan observe this 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 fi nding cities, enter each character using the baseletter (or whatever corresponding letter with diacriticalmarks appears), then proceed to the next character.
