Due to vagaries in TeleAtlas's inane map city designator system, one of the
unfortunate consequences of the Sendero GPS implementation, in my opinion,
your destination address may be in what they consider a different city. Where
I am, they list me in a "city" which is not a politically defined jurisdiction
and hasn't been for over thirty years.
I would jump for joy if they ever converted to NavTech, which the Trekker uses
and it doesn't have this problem.
The only thing I can suggest is to try to select an address in the real city,
virtually navigate to your destination, and hit the letter C to see what
TeleAtlas think your city is.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Nonexistent Address
When trying to set an address from my friend's house, I was able to specify
the city and number, but when I tried to enter the street name, it found no
matching streets. The name is North River View Road. I tried making River
View two words, dropping the North designation, but it never found the
street.I then picked another address in a close-by city and it found it
just fine in virtual mode. Why would this happen?
