Abstract
A navigation system user interface identifies and displays a list of all addresses which contain address components in conformity with the user provided "city name", "street base name" and "house number" and prompts the user to choose an address from the list thus provided. Alternatively, the interface generates a list of all the city names which contain valid addresses in conformity with the user provided "street base name" and "house number". The system, subsequently, displays a list of all possible addresses with components matching those entered/selected by the user and prompts the user to select an address from the list thus provided.
