Good morning, Mary Ellen, Your phrase: "Not only will the gps tell you the name but with a certain command, it will give you the address and phone number of the establishment." is not clear. Are you saying that the GPS itself will give you the entire postal address? And what do you mean by "with a certain command"? Explain more on that particular term!
