Hello-
I'm having difficulties programming a hotel address into my 650. When I type the address in, I get a message from my 650 that says something to the effect of "inaccurate address" Or not a correct address, BUT it is. Can someone please tell me how I can program the hotel address into my 650?
Thanks for your help!
let me try
What is the address so I can check if is in the unit with different spelling.
Garmin 38 - Magellan Gold - Garmin Yellow eTrex - Nuvi 260 - Nuvi 2460LMT - Google Nexus 7 - Toyota Entune NAV
address
Thanks..
Ramada
3801 Hwy 73
Port Arthur, TX 77642

not there
I tried
Different city = Port Arthur
Spell = Ramada
and it comes up with several, none at that address or in Port Arthur
These are the ones that show up = Beaumont, Orange, Galveston, and further away.
I tried by the address and is not there either, the closest address 7500 Hwy 73 in the same zip
You may have to get coordinates from the net and go by coordinates since it appears this is a new hotel address.

I tried it in my 750 and it came up fine. You have to spell highway and not abbreviate it..good luck...

I tried Hwy, Highway, and even put a few extra words in! LOL! but nothing came up. I have 2008 maps loaded, do you think I need to update to 2009? It's frustrating. However I did go to Google Earth (which the correct Ramada did come up) so I programmed the coordinates in. To me, it kind of defeats the purpose. Ya Know...
Thanks all, I truly appreciate your help!

yah, i realized that on my
yah, i realized that on my Garmin 660 that if I have a street called
S Price Rd.
I won't find it if I would to search for "Price", I would need to search "S Price" which kind of defeats the idea of locating a street by name.
It would be nice if we can enter a wild card to do a search such as "%Price" which means search for anything that ends with "price"

Address
Found it on my 200W.
I keyed in HWY 73 or Highway 73 and it found it both ways.
But if I didn't put a space between HWY and 73, got no matches.
