Address Searches on new GPSmap66S
Hi All Just say that the latest GPSmap66S gives a 'Cannot find address' when searching for an address! Oddly, it lists any address you have entered, ie it finds the names of streets and towns/cities even the numbers of an address but annoyingly refuses to locate them on the map. Checking the manual it says: 'You can use optional City Navigator maps to search for addresses.' mmm.... So it only works with City Navigator maps ,.... a sign of things to come? Apart from that , mkgmap's custom maps work ! r Nick -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Mkgmap-Development-f5324443.html
Hi Nick, well, my Oregon 600 no longer uses the index when I search for restaurants. No idea if that started after an update of the firmware or a change in mkgmap. Search takes very long, even if map contains only one tile. It might not be intended by Garmin, maybe they just change the firmware without testing it with our maps?

Hi Gerd I have been in contact with someone at Garmin about another bug and will ask him about it. I can see where they are coming from , ie city navigator maps don't seem to 'popular' Interestingly , have tested this bug on a Topo France with the same result so it might be a bug. With this gps not problems with searching for restaurants Nick On 07/11/2018 11:10, Gerd Petermann wrote:

I've just got a new Etrex 30x, updated with the latest firmware, and most of the searching is very slow compared with my almost 10 year old Etrex Legend. Using mkgmap generated map of the British Isles: On the Legend, earching for city gives a narrowed list as fast as I can type in each character of the name. The 30x takes 5 seconds after Search is selected before displaying nearby cities, then takes about 8 seconds per letter entered before showing the narrowed list. Typing ahead can reduce the total time taken. Address searches do work, with the City selection being much faster than the City search, but I have lots of City points that are not part of an address.
