To get to any web page, you can either type it on your start page or press the Menu key and select Go To... from the menu.
The address bar comes up with the http://www. in place, waiting for you to type the rest of the address.
|
Pressing the Delete key will quickly erase the www. but leave the http://.
|
|
Simply, type in the web address (remember, pushing the Space key will put in the dot (.).
|
Pressing Shift + Space is the shortcut to type a slash (/), as in www.google.com/gmm (the address to download Google Maps application at the time of this writing).
|
|
The first thing you see on the top of the start page
will be the web address line. Then you will see your Bookmarks and
history of recently visited pages. Click any Bookmark or History item to instantly jump to it.
|
As you start typing a web address, any similar addresses instantly are shown below.
|
|
Gide down and click the address you want as soon as you see it in the list.
If necessary, type a few more letters to narrow the list of web addresses shown.
|
To edit the address in the drop-down list, glide down
to it and glide to the right with the trackpad to change it in the top
window.
|
|
Press the Enter key or click the trackpad to go to the selected web page or history item.
