Doug,
    I happen to live in the state of Washington, on the Eastern slope, north
of Spokane, right?  The spelling of Cour De'elene, we pronounce it like
Court il lane, it's a French name...
    I'm not to sure how the spelling effects your GPS system, OK?  Now
remember I have not been trained to use one as yet, so...

           Trying to help, Patrick
