Secondly, if i set it as intersection option, it wont allow me to type in street numbers such as 73rd street and 40th av. Its mainly for street names such as Franklin Street and Washington Av.

The Nav system is a computer program....
that takes some getting used to especially if you have been trained on another Nav. system. The Miami address should be in the system and I'll try it later at work. For numbered streets you do have to input numerals and go back to letters directly after the numbers for ex. 73RD ST. Always abbreviate the street type such as AVE ST DR PKY LN etc. Do not put a space in the number section of the address as that will look up a list that has something following the number like 2020 B 4th ST. If you are looking up a POI by name and there is a posessive apostrophe such as Ruth's Chris Steakhouse you have to switch to numerals to get the apostrophe in there or it won't work. On the gen 5 you can switch to QWERTY format if desired in setup. Some streets will have a N, S, NW, E, designation before or after the street name which should also be entered after a space. ex. 16TH ST NW. I hope this helps.

It also keeps all your entries with full street adresses etc. in the system so you do not need paper for it. Now if you want to see the full street address on the display, you have to hit the info button during guidance.

One thing I love about the nav system is when I'm out driving and I decide to get something to eat to take home
or to eat there, I just find a restaurant on the map I like and press info and bingo, I get the ph. no., then call hands free thru the bluetooth, place my order and its ready by the time I get there. Same with shopping, I find a store or 2 that might have what I'm looking for then call them and ask, instead of driving all over the place. Yes, I could do that from home if I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but plans change thru the day and that feature comes in very handy.

As others have mentioned, I have found it much easier to enter the city first, then the street name and number. I have not had any problems doing it that way at all. Whereas putting in the number and street first would sometimes give me issues.
