I have a question, Just bought a TomTom one, Are the maps not as detialed?
I have tried searching for 2 side streets - they appear on the map when driving but cannot search for the names!
Looking on hte tomtom website they have a 200mb UK map and my SD card looks like it only has a 110mb map. |

Have you typed the whole name correctly and the name has not appeared in the search results list? You may need to type the whole name as all TT devices use a search algorithm which whislt excellent most of the time, can produce some unusal results if you only type a partial name. |
