Hello guys. I had an address to get to today (Just got the Z1_ so I figured I would ue the navi. Thing is it would not list the o and so plaza when I Was entering a name... IT would give the street which is in a different location all together. I went on to google maps and it found it no problem. The Z1 had no record of that street (plaza ) at all. and I know it has been there for a while. Whats up with this?

I've noticed one irritating thing about entering streets, you have to try different combos if the first doesn't work. ie I work on Randolph street, but that doesn't come up, neither does North Randolph Street, but if I punch in N Randolph Street, that works. Some spell out the direction, some abreviate, some exclude it altogether. Try typing in just plaza and then press list. See if it comes up that way.

thats the thing. As soon asI enter the last letter of the name it gives me th options... Plus when I am actually there is still thinks the street is something else. Oh well.

yeah navigations are like that. this was the reason i didnt want to get one after using a magellan 700 unit. it would not know all the streets and would give the wrong directions in which i knew personally a quicker way of getting to the destination. to me the navi only is good if your totally lost and have no way to getting to another source of map. but with the new z1 it said it was smart so im giving it a chance.
