Garmin Nuvi - "favorite" question...

[+goonybird]

Ok, so I live in the LA area. Friend of mine moved to Vegas recently.

SO of course, I enter his address into my gps, and hit "save" which places

his house in my "favorites" so I can find his place when I visit.

Of course, i was able to edit his entry and add his cell phone # -

I have a model with bluetooth that will act as a speaker phone.

 

Then I noticed something odd. His ADDRESS doesnt actually show up

in my favorites, but the lat/long.

Now, I KNOW if i sync GPX or other POI files with my GPS,

the address info that's in there will show up, if its there...

 

So, short of moving his entry from the Favorites to a GPX/LOC/whatever POI file,

how would i get the address to show up, (wanna be sure I knock on the right door

when I get there)

here are some screenshots of his entry (blurred out part of the lat/long)

 

Here's what one of my entries in a custom POI file (gpx in this case)

looks like (and yes, i guess i AM pimping my favorite cigar store)

Did you touch the map and move the arrow after you entered the address? Other than that I have no idea - didn't really explore the Nuvi that much, and many Garmin units have their little idiosyncrasies.
