Navigation Question
I was running an errand one day recently and decided to use the navigation on the GS. We have a major road here in Houston called FM1960. So I input the address as 3000 FM 1960. This dumb unit gave me numerous choices of FM1960 everywhere but Houston. So now I'm really pissed and start playing with this navigation unit and cannot locate the address in Houston. A couple of days later I'm playing with the navigation and input the address again only this time I use a hypen (FM-1960). No crap it gives me the location I was looking for two days earlier.
On the voice activated navigation units would you have the actually say "FM hypen nineteen sixty" in order to get the destination? The street signs don't have a hypen and Map Quest certainly doesn't require a hypen. WASSUP????

First, what year GS are you running?
Second, I tell all my customers here to do the nav thing backwards. Instead of doing numer, street, and then city do city, street then number. This kind of helps with finding spelling differences, puntuation issues, and things that you wouldn't expect.
Voice wise, I don't think you can enter a street name that way. Maybe on the new IS systems, I haven't had time to play with one of those yet.
Hope this helps.
