Tried to put in Hell, Mi on mine, it would not allow it, went to state, then city, would not light up the letters, but the cell phones did, strange to me. Also went to a different town , and punched in the address of a restaurant kept telling me to turn left on the road, it dead ended, finally went around block and turned right, low and behold, little ways down was the restaurant. Kind of embarrassing

Had similar issues until I changed the input sequence. First change the state, then the zip code. That will then auto fill the city name. Then enter street name and last entry is the house number. Seems that the zip code is what allows the street names and house numbers to be available. Works well every time now. I travel between Maryland, DC, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware and West Virginia on PGR missions.
Aside from the issues mentioned and the solutions given - what I also find frustrating is trying to move the highlighter around going to the letters that are available - you can't just get to them it wants to drop down up or jump across and misses the letters that are available of reelection.
If you use the touch screen this is not an issue - but when using the joystick it is a PITA!

Its very frustrating. Try it in areas like Myrtle Beach and you have no luck. Even in Maryland it screws up. Type a town, cool. Type the street name and it will show the street in 3 towns/metros but not the one you entered. Pick the first town, then try the house number, nope. Go back type the second street it found. Repeat.
Myrtle its worse because it comes up with 2 pages of 'towns' the street exists in and none of them match what google says.
The day its more like a ipad instead of that Harley crap will be a good one.

Also noticed while I was riding around the hills at Sturgis, there were some small towns that would not input into the GPS....but had them in my Zumo660 from last year which I lent to my buddy.
Had to ask him for directions....and he rides a Victory LOL!
