[gps-talkusers] Re: problem with address lookup

Another problem, on the BT units, is when you abort a look up, or can't
find what your looking for; you receive the message saying press escape
to use the nearest address. That's a QT command.

Phil,
I have reproduced this error and I have found two issues with this
address lookup. I think you were looking for the Holiday Inn zip code
29223 at that address. When I place my virtual position to the HOLIDAY
Inn at that address, I check the city and find it is in the city of
Dentsville.  The address of the POI states the city is Columbia.  This
appears to be a map issue.  I do not suspect a Keysoft 7.2 issue or a
Version 3.5 issue.  

The address lookup aborted message issue does appear to be a problem in
the Sendero GPS program.  I will be following up on this tomorrow.  

Thank you for bringing this problem to my attention and we will be back
to as soon as I have additional information.

Phil,

I just tried what you outlined below, with the same results. I am not
sure 
as to why this is happening, but I can say that the address lookup
function 
has worked for me in the past flawlessly. The only thing that I  can say
is 
that it is excellent that you have found a work-around by using the POI 
lookup, this is the route that I would also go if I were you. It is a
very 
nice thing that there exist such a thing as multiple-modes of looking up

information. Some of the ways including by lat/lon, POI's, and address.

Kevin
