Okay,
So
I followed the instructions about contructing the GMAPSUPP.IMG file - no
problem.
On the gps I press the Find key and select Adresses, start entering in the
street name, which the unit finds and I select then scroll to the Enter City
box Enter and this brings up all the Cities - but just about all of them are
listed as being in VIC.
Have opened the same file in Mapedit and confirmed that that almost all of
the cities are listed as being in VIC.
Thanks
Gavin
