English term or phrase: Find&Go
"Find&Go" is an option on the main GPS menu enabling the user to find a particular address after the information has been provided. Directly translated the option would be "Vind&Gaan". I cannot use Search ("Soek") as that is another option on the menu. "Voer" is also a possible translation of "Go", thus "Vind&Voer", but "Voer" is also "Feed".

Explanation:
Jy sé die gebruiker sit die inligting in en dan moet die GPS dit vind - wat van 'soek&vind' of 'soek&kry'? Ons praat tog so - bv. Ek soek 'n adres in die foonboek en het dit gevind/gekry.

Asker:

Asker: "Vind" en "kry" is amper sinonieme. Maar jou kommentaar van "ons praat tog so" het gelei tot "kry&gaan".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Goeie voorstel, maar ek het gesien dat die "Find&Go" ook in ander kontekste gebruik word. "Roete" - alhoewel dit hier goed pas, het ek besluit op "Kry&gaan". "Soek" verskyn reeds in 'n ander konteks op dieselfde kieslys.

agree  Eugene Seegers: Latter options good, but how about "Kry&Ry"? :)
