Why is this (Navman 510)

[ferret79]

If I put in the "address line" ....Town "Skegness" ....and then in the "Road" .."Trunch Lane" it refuses to find it although it is on the map......But if i use the "Anytown Entry" instead and input "Trunch Lane" it then comes up with it.. anyone care to try it - it does work but why....bit confused as to why this is as i would have thought it would have found it in the "Addresses" instead.. any comments...... 8O

Trunch Lane is over 5 miles from the center of Skegness. The map data suppler (TA) have made the area covered by Skegness smaller than you think it is, so when you enter Skegness, Trunch Lane is not found.
The problem is with the difference between what you think of as being in Skegness and what TA thinks of as Skegness.
I think the issue with this sort of problem, which is very common, is where does an area stop and a new one start - it's easy for country borders- they go to war to sort this stuff out. Other than that it will never be really clear.
Hopefully the next set map data and software version makes these sorts of things easier to sort out.
