City/Town Centre fault? icn510

[Dazzler24]

Hi all, I have trawled the forums but can't seem to find a definitive answer to this issue which is as follows.....
If I wish to travel to a town in an area that I am unfamiliar with I assume that I should be able go to the "City/Town Centre" function under Destination and enter the town name. Seems reasonable?! Sometimes this works and I can choose the town from a list after typing a few letters of the town name. All OK so far. On other occasions ie other towns when I perform the above exercise the icn 510 tells me that there are no matches?! However if I use the "Address" button under Destination it will usually/sometimes find the town in question??!! ..... But wait there's more! Sometimes I have to know a street name before it will allow me to go find the town on screen?????!! This is the worst of the previous scenarios as obviously if I don't know where the town is then how am I to know what a street name of that town is?! To do that I would have to carry a paper street map and you don't have to be a genius to work out that that defeats the whole purpose of a GPS! . I'm hoping that it's just me and that I've missed something fundamental.... please shed some light for me oh knowledgable ones.....

Cheers

My setup is icn510 with V3 maps for Australia.

A similar problem with a 510 was discussed in this thread.

nfortunately, the thread did not offer a solution.

It would seem that there must be a bug with with the 510 software.
