Sarai,
Call one of us tomorrow to sort this out. There is something else going on.

Hi: The maps are loaded because when I set an address then put myself in GPS mode, it works fine, but I can't just turn it on and go if I don't have a certain location set in my GPS address.

Perhaps you are switching to virtual mode. If the maps are properly loaded, your position will be announced without setting an address. Press A to hear the address or C for city.
