Now that you have your data fields customized the way you like them (see this thread if'n you don't (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32534)), here's another setting that I've experimented with recently and really like it. Even while using the 2820 in the car!
The 2820 has three Keyboard "Entry Type" settings.
ABCDEF - (The keys are in alphebetical orde.r)
QWERTY - (The key layout looks like your computer's keys.)
Large - (This is what I'm talking about!) :cool:
Give this setting a try for a few days, and I'll bet you don't go back to your old setting. Here's what to do:
Go to the Main Menu and press the Settings button.

Then the General button.

Then the Keyboard button.

Then the Entry Type: button.

Select 'Large' and press the OK at the bottom.

Now, whenever you have to type a name, number, or address into the GPS, you'll have a whole different keyboard layout. The keys are much larger, which makes them easier to hit when you have gloves on. It takes a little getting use to scrolling up & down to find the letter you want, but once you do, I think you're going to like it. Better than hitting all those wrong keys! :(

TRY IT!!! You just might like it! ;)
