Success at last.

I did a hard reset and then I copied the North America maps from the "Map" folder on the sdcard to a (new) "Map" folder on the internal drive and to my utter amazement I can now access the North America map

and........

When I use "Where To" and then "Address" I am shown a window that first asks for a country.

So I am very happy now.

Many thanks sussamb you have been so very helpful.

In the name of pure research please will you:
with all the maps enables (ie ticked)
try and select an address in France by the following method.
select "Where To" on the first screen
Then "Address"
Then "Change Country"
Then type "France" it may offer you a list of countries with just the F typed
Select "France"
Then does it give you only the following States or Provinces
Guadeloupe, Guyane, Martinique, Saint-Barthelemy

if so you have the bug as I and others have.
If it allows you to Spell City, or Spell Postal Code or Search All, then the bug is not in your version of the firmware.

To actually set destinations in France (Should you wish to travel there) you will have to deselect the North American maps.

Please let us know what result you get.

Thanks


Hi I did as requested and after I enter France I get all of France. i checked this by typing several known addresses across France.

Mine seems to work OK.

I hope this is helpful to you.

It all seems rather odd and confusing.

With the USA map on the sdcard and map ticked (therefore recognised by the software) the map would not work. Transferring the USA map to the internal memory solved the problem.

It seems that these rype of problems will always arrive when changes to the map, software and hardware are made.

We will always need a forum such as this to resolve our problems.

Long may Pocket GPS World survive and flourish.

I have just resolved another problem and this time it was converting pois in ov2 format to nuvi format.

Several of my pois failed to convert satisfactorily.

I tried gpx and the csv formats but neither solved the problem.

I then looked at these problem poi files in MS Word and all seemed OK.

I next looked at them in MS Excel and I was surprised to see that the pois covered many more columns than I had expected.

Going back to Word I found that the description of the individual pois contained an address with sections of the address separated with commas and it was these commas that was causing the problem. Removing the unwanted commas in the pois but leaving the essential ones took some time but now all my pois work correctly on my 3598.
