Map version: Go to Change preferences, page 6 - Show version.
You're right, typing "Chester" in the address page does give me "Chester (Cheshire, England)" as a result, and from there I can find all the M way entries (including "M53 (Chester (Cheshire,England))" -some weirdness going on with the naming conventions there! )
Trouble is, I bought the Go because my geography is so lousy. You really shouldn't have to guess at what town they have decided to file the road numbers under. Fingers crossed the new software might help, but I'm not holding out much hope.
Anyway, I MUST go and pack etc. (Off on hols for a week first thing tomorrow),
so hopefully someone else will take up the challenge and see how to get you sorted out. Good luck! |

If you want to travel by Motorway Junctions you could use the Motorway POI that is on my Webspace. Note that the actual points are ON the Motorway.
Personally I like to use Point on Map when doing an Itinerary as you can then locate the Waypoint exactly on the Road. _________________ Richard
