"address not found" on metrogold w/ metroguide v8 2 Years, 2 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi, Here is what I have:
garmin street pilot c320
metroguide north america v8
metrogold

Here is my problem:
I have metroguide north america v8, got upgraded by metrogold. I selected the whole maps to send it to my 2gb sandisk card. Then afterward, I put the card into my gps. My GPS reads the card fine, recognize the maps and everything. However, there is one problem. When I try to type in an address, for example:
1. Where to: California
2. City: Westminster
3. Street #: ***
4. Street Name: ****** (the garmin or the software would recognize the street name)
5. I select the street name, but the problem appears: "Address not found"

How come it says, "address not found?" The fact of the matter is the gps or software recognize the street but when I select, it give me the error? Please help.

PS: When I tried it on the metrogold North America v7, the address issue is solved. However, version 7 is not as up to date as version 8. So I would rather have version 8. Please help.

Thanks

Strange problem which I didn't hear off before.

Did you try different addresses? Are you sure autorouting info is included in the upload to your GPS?

Yes, I checked the auto routing feature.

I don't know if this is related, but before I use metrogold, I used metrowhizzz to upload the metro north America version 7.0 on my gps. I then took out the SD card in the gps and delete the maps using a sd card slot on my computer. After that, I use metrogold because I have metro north america version 8.0. So I uploaded version 8 onto my gps (containing my sd card). And like I said in the previous thread, the address was recognized by the map, but once I click on it, it said, "address not found." Nevertheless the maps displays properly when I click on "view map" Since I also have some previous addresses on my gps, it was able to do the routing fine. However, I can't add new addresses b/c the "address not found" message. So I wonder if this may have caused my gps to not work properly.

Since then, I have tried using metrowhizz again to reupload my version 7 maps to my gps; I was hoping that it would work as normal again. Well, the "address not found" issue doesn't happen in version 7. However, 2 new problems arised

1. I can't add the address, so eventhough the gps found the address, but every time I click save, the gps turns off.
2. since the gps can find the address, I try to input an address and see if it will route; the gps said, "way-points is full" or "memory is full".

I have no clue what's going on. Will you please give me some advice on what to do? Please help.

Problem solved - all I need to do was to update my firmware to v 6.0. by using the webupdater from the garmin website.

"I just got my Nuvi a couple of days ago, used Metrowizz and made up 476 megs of Europe maps. Thats way more than I will need for my vacation. I copied the file as suggested into the Garmin directory on the Nuvi...works great. Thanks for Metrowizz and your help in getting it up and running. I changed my location to places I will be staying in Europe and it routes to my destination with street names and turns called out. Garmin makes great products, you make them work better. Thank you!"

"Outstanding Product - worth its weight in Gold! This is just a terrific addition that makes the Garmin Etrex a great little GPS instead of just an ok device. For $6 (US) it cannot be beat. I certainly hope they continue to create products that support the Garmin GPS portfolio. Well done guys!"
