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.

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?
