Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2004 6:52 pm Post subject: Exact address?! |
|
|
CP5: When I look up an address to navigate to, many times I get the 'Choose an option below:' dialogue. This is somewhat frustrating, as I'm forced to choose the road in general, a nearby address, or a cross-street.
I've got the detail turned all the way up in the PC application when I export my maps / trips.
Is there a way to get CP5 to actually find the addresses I'm looking for? |

From my experience CP5 comes up with those alternatives when it doesn't find your precise address. Try looking it up in the planning mode map, and see if there's a spelling difference or if it indeed doesn't find it (which can of course happen) _________________ Lutz

If the address isn't available, e.g. the house number on the map but the street exists, then it will give you three options:-
- General Street (the street you entered)
- Nearby Address (the closest number it has)
- Cross-Street (roads that intersect) |

Exactly - that's what's interesting - I can find the exact address when using the PC based software before I download the map data! Once it hits the PPC, I can no longer find the specific address... |

same spelling? Any chance you can give us an example without revealing too much private information? _________________ Lutz

Sure.
7300 Saint Peters Church Road, Louisville, Ohio.
It's here, but not here or here.
