So when you try to select your destination by plugging in an address I start plugging in the address and it does this auto address thing where it trys to fill in what it thinks i'm going to type and 9 times out of 10 it wont find the street in the same state as me or anywhere for that matter? or it will fill in before i'm finished and i can't write the correct street. is there a way to turn that thing off so i can just manually plug everything in?

Nope. If it plugs in a street before you finish, it was the only possibility that it knew of. FWIW, I've never had it NOT know a street I needed.

I've had it happen to me before. D3 wouldn't let me put in the full name of the street. Then, I looked it up on mapquest, found out I had the name wrong.

Ya, ive never had it NOT guess the street name correctly.

If you're in a relatively new area, that could be the problem.... or maybe youre using the wrong disc??? :wink:

Do you have it set to look in the correct zone of the country?

Try entering in the city before entering in the street name.

I think i might have over looked the zone detail. Dang it now i feel like an idiot. How do you correct the zones?

Press POI search or Vicinity Search. You will see a little icon that looks like a map of the US. Touch that and you can select whatever region you're in

Check the spelling on the street you want. Last week I needed to so a service call at a customer's house on callaway st, but I kept typing in calloway (the normal spelling). It's a long shot, but it may help.
