You may carry out all entries with your finger on the mobile
phone keyboard. But you may enter capital letters only.
As on a mobile phone, each key is designed to enter several
letters with it. The position of a letter on a key caption indicates
how often you must tap this key to enter the respective letter.
E.g., to enter an "S", tap the "PQRS" key four times.
You need not enter small letters or special characters when
entering a destination's city or street name. The Sony Personal
Navigation System replaces these characters automatically.
When you are looking for, e.g., a French city called "Héroïnès",
simply type "HEROINES".
