ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are described for selecting an entry from a list of entries in a vehicle navigation system. First and second objects are presented on the system display. The first object includes the list of entries and the second object includes a character slot and a selection window comprising a plurality of adjacent character spaces. The second object is operable to present a sequence of characters in the character slot and to enter one of the characters in each of the character spaces in response to manipulation of an input device associated with the navigation system. An arrangement of the characters is presented in the adjacent character spaces of the selection window and the character slot in response to manipulation of the input device. For each of the characters entered in the selection window, a first entry in the list of entries is highlighted, the first entry corresponding to the arrangement of characters in the selection window and the character slot. A highlighted entry is selected from the list of entries in response to a selection signal generated by actuation of the selection device.
