Apparatus and methods are directed to the use and customization of user interfaces associated with vehicle navigation systems, including “skins,” selection of context for clarification, and autocompletion functions. The navigator may be a wireless client server navigation system comprising mobile clients used for requesting and receiving guidance from a central server that houses databases of geographical information. Customization may include images, icons, controls, menus, colors, symbols, or shapes that are added, removed, or moved on the display. Options may be selected using equipment external to the navigation system. If a word, or phrase is not understood, the method proceeds with the steps of: searching a database for potential matching letters, words, or phrases; querying the user with the potential matching words, or phrases; and, if the user selects one of the potential matching words, or phrases: performing an operating associated with the potential matching words, or phrases.
