Pissed off with my 2610 and City Navigator 8 - Cant find addresses.
 

Im going to the HU meet in the Uk this year..

The address is:

Lumb Farm
Derby Road,
Ripley,
Derbyshire,
DE5 8JN


So I search for Derby road in England. Only 3 matches !! BOLLOX. I know of 3 just in my town and the one I need isnt there.

So I search Derby road in DE5 8 - No matches found ! BOLLOX !

I try all spellings and spacing and nothing.


Maddening this is. The road is there on Mapsource and when I painstakingly found it manually on the unit, the road is there and called "Derby road"

How crap can this be ?? Anyone else have problems findind addresses with a 2610 and City Nav 8.

When you search on the 2610 don't include 'Road' or 'Street'. If you want to find 'Derby Road' just enter in the word 'Derby'.
I haven't tried this particular search, but I've had similar problems locating other addresses for this reason.

It worked 2nd time when i restricted with a postcode but put a house number in.

Even though there isnt one.

I did try the search you describe in the first place. I swear its got bugs in the software :)

Other problems are spaces. My home road is called "Mountwood road" In all maps, software etc its one word.

The 2610 wont find it unless i do "Mount wood Road" with a space.

Still, its a great unit and even better now I have my 2 gig card in :)

Old fashioned way
 

Don't know if this helps or not

Lumbs Farm is at

53*01'54.34"N
01*24'08.60"W

If it's any help to you I've got the HU meet as a waypoint on my 2610. I'll send you a file with it on if you need it. I'm typing this from my work so it might not be too accurate but look at the road (derby road) from ripley/marehay south. There's a petrol station marked on your 2610 map outside of the town. (It's no longer a petrol station though) The HU meet is right accross the road from the petrol station on your map.
BTW City Navigator 9 is out and I got it as a free upgrade from Garmin. When did you register your 2610 with them?
