Searching for a Location in Another Country on an Automotive Device

If you have a device that is preloaded with international maps (e.g., US & Canada, North America & Europe, full Europe), or if you purchase international maps for your automotive device, then you may want to search for a destination in a country other than the one you're currently located in.

Note that although you may be able to locate a destination in a different country, the device will not route you to that location if there are no roads that connect the two countries. To simulate a route in that country, refer to your device's owner's manual.

To Search for an Address in a Country Other Than the one You're Currently Located in:

  1. Touch Where To? or Search
  2. Touch the Searching Near, Near Me,   button, or DriveCam location box
  3. Touch A Different City or Near a City
  4. Enter the name of the city the address is located in or near
  5. Select the appropriate city/territory combination (e.g., Toronto, ON or Beijing, Hebei)
  6. Touch Address
  7. Enter the house number and street name when prompted

The device should now locate the desired address. For instructions to save this address, refer to your device's owner's manual.


To Search for a Point of Interest (POI) in a Country Other Than the one You're Currently Located in:

  1. Touch Where To? or Search
  2. Touch the Searching Near, Near Me,   button, or DriveCam location box
  3. Touch A Different City or Near a City
  4. Enter the name of the city the address is located in or near
  5. Select the appropriate city/territory combination (e.g., Toronto, ON or Beijing, Hebei)
  6. Touch the Enter Search or Search bar
  7. Enter the name of the point of interest (e.g., name of the hotel, Eiffel Tower, Big Ben)
  8. Touch the Done (or magnifying glass) button in the bottom-right

A list of locations in the chosen city which match your search terms should appear. Select the desired location from the list.


Tips:

  • If searching for a POI or business, you only need to type in the name of the POI, rather than the entire title.

    • For example "Louvre" instead of "Musée du Louvre" or "Louvre Museum".

  • Locations are often listed with an abbreviated state/province/territory. The country may not be listed at all, or may only be abbreviated.

  • Different countries have different address formats. For best results, find out first what address format the country uses.

  • When searching for points of interest, you can also utilize the device's Categories menu to narrow down search results or browse local restaurants, hotels, etc.

    • For more information on performing a Category search, refer to your device's owner's manual.
