Re: Garmin Quest 2 GPS can not find most addresses?

Oldtimer Curt:

I agree that it was a bit harsh, I think that gru's further
explaination helped to clarify the fact that he had hit a few addresses
that might provide a bit of a challenge. Lets face it: throughout the
US, cities grow in a somewhat haphazard manner. Maps that were
relatively straightforward may become quickly out of date as street
extentions are added on or new subdivisions are built. In his first
post it sounded like he simply didn't know how to input an address
properly. His second post clarified that he did indeed know how to
input addresses, but that he managed to come up with addresses that
challenged the system. I am glad that Garmin support was able to come
up with a solution.

gru,

Do you have the lastest version of the Quest2 software? They have
supposedly worked on the issues that you are concerned with:

Changes made from version 2.40 to 2.50:
* Improved retrieval of current state/country in the
address/intersection find.
* Added full extended postal code support.
* Added ability to search across multiple mapsets for
address/intersections.
* Improved display of street names for the address/intersection search.
* Removed undesired exiting of data entry mode when entering streets in
the address/intersection find.
* When reviewing a city, the state will now be displayed.
* When downloading maps to MapSource, the user-loaded maps now will be
download--not the preloaded maps.
* Corrected issue with unit shutting down when accessing the custom poi
category list.
* Improved route calculation speed.
* Enhanced timing and wording of voice prompts.
