Tony,
A lot of the difficulties that you are seeing with Address Lookups has
to do with the way the map suppliers, Tele Atlas decides to draw the
city lines. There may be certain streets that are considered in the
city and other streets that may be classified as in the "area" of
that city. An example would be Stockton versus Stockton Area, which is
out here in California, USA.
I was able to find Chesnut Clove, Edenbridge by doing the following:
SPACE with S for Address Lookup
ENTER Region: Southern England
Emter City: Edenbridge
ENTER Address Number: ENTER
ENTER Street Name: Chestnut
For some reason entering "Chestnut Clove" returns with "no streets
found matching that name."
If there are any other streets or Address Lookups like this, please
feel free to see if we could find them here.
Wow! It sounds like you have a lot to handle there.
Actually, there is a CommandSummary among other documentation, which
can be found in the Information Center. To access this, do the
following:
SPACE with H for the GPS Help Menu
I for the Information Center
Then SPACE through and press ENTER on the item of choice.
All of these documentations canalso be found online at
www.MySendero.com
That is unfortunate to hear that there was an issue with the battery,
but good to know that you are up and running again.
It isnt' possible to use a Bluetooth ear piece directly with the PK.
However, it is possible when using a Bluetooth dongle. This is
something that will plug into the 3.5 mm jack on the PK, which will
allow for the dongle to be pairedd with an ear piece that will allow
for you to hear the information from the PK in the Bluetooth ear
piece.
I am not sure of where they could be obtained in England, but I found
them at Radio Shack here in the States.
I would recommend the Audio Tutorial, which also can be found at
www.MySendero.com which gives a really good desmontration/guide of
the GPS and is generalizeable to any situation.
Thanks,
Kevin
