60csx Find Address Not In Current Location?

[+Creakhead]

Hi,

 

I am currently traveling and trying to use my 60csx to find an address not in my current area. It seems if I hit FIND - Address - it only comes up with citys that are within a certain distance from my current location. I read in the instructions that you can "change reference" but that only seems to work for current waypoints. Does anyone know how to do this?

 

I know I can find it in mapsource on my computer and then mark the waypoint and transfer it to the gps, but I don't have access to that software.

 

Thanks a ton!

What maps have you loaded, I doubt that the base map will help much with addresses.

I have CS7 on my 60cx and can search addresses.

I have metroguide usa v5

 

I did notice i can go to find - address - in the city boc hit enter, so the keyboard comes up then hit menu, and say select map, but i have about half the usa on there and they all say metroguide usa, so it would be a huge guessing game to find the area I want. So maybe it has something to do with the maps i have? If so that sucks

I just checked, when using "find", mine only shows cities that are in the areas (most of Eastern US) I loaded w/ cs7.

I know I have this area loaded. Do you have any that are like say 200+ miles away from where you are currently at? and you can use the find address to pull them up?

 

Thanks for trying..

Yes, I'm in Pennsylvania and I just looked up the address of a cousin in Florida, worked fine.

Depending on how many states/provinces you have loaded, you need to select the state first. I have 16 states and 6 Canadien provinces loaded on a 512mb card, and can get any address using CS7 on my 60CSx.

How are you "selecting a state"? Do you think this is something that I can't do because of the version of my mapping software?

I'm not very familiar with "Metro". On CS it's the first thing to enter (via scroll & click) when finding an address.

I may be right out of line here but my understanding is that Metroguide supports routing on the PC only.

On my 60Cx the top item on the Addresses find page is the region selection field, which defaults to the state you're in. Just move the cursor up from the city field and change the region to the one you need. And yes, past version 4 Metroguide won't autoroute on the GPS, but it still has addresses and everything else (I'm using MG v6 until CN 8 comes out.)

Ah mine does not show the region drop-drown

Maybe thats because of the metro 5.

I posted some on this HERE.

 

Short summary is that all but the Canadien metroguide software doesn't autoroute on the gpsr.

 

HTH!

I'm having the same issue with my 60cx. It's not an autorouting issue, it's just locating an address (or intersection). Right now I have my area of California loaded in, along with a chunk of Florida. If I try to find an address in Florida, while the unit thinks it's in California, it will not find that address. I have to manually move the location to Florida before it will. I have Metroguide, I wonder if CN has this problem also.
