I bet that road is known by a different name on the map.

Hi Peggy,

That's an idea, but so far, I haven't found a poi there--except when I
tried to create one for my house--and I've been assured by the sighted
person that there's no such road by my house with that name--yet when I
go to take out the trash, I get that I am nearing increasing addresses
for the road--so now we are both curious and trying to solve the
mystery.

What if you went to a POI near the road and gave the name and address to
the sighted person, so they'd have an idea where it was.  I remember in
one of the previous versions there was a poi called Whiskey Hill, by the
12th Avenue exit off Highway 99.  My husband had never heard of Whiskey
Hill, and we still don't know why it was a poi, but it was fun talking
about it. 
<grin>  I haven't seen it on later versions of the software.
