We just received our first batch of GO 920 at our Future shop store (in quebec)

i just check with my DEMO and yes the adress you wanted to check is listed perfectly

 

[s2ksimon]

It's more about the map and not so much the unit.

I can confirm on North America v710.1576 has the address.

My MapSource 2008 has that address. I don't think you'll find the TomTom maps any more complete than Garmin's. I'm not impressed with either of them when it comes to Canadian content. I think we're too far north for them to bother with. Both of them are terrible when it comes to the Trans-Canada. I was out in the boonies with both my 2610 with new updates, and the TomTom. Each was more accurate than than the other in different places. With the TomTom I find myself a block out in Moncton NB in places, as well as in Cardston AB, and some of the back road turn offs near my home in AB are 1/4 mile out. Never had this problem with Garmin. Finding Quebec addresses with TomTom is difficult with the French wording and had to give up finding an address in Riviere-des-Prairies as it was listed as Saint Joseph de-la-Riviere-des-Prairies and unfindable with anything else. Impossible to find with RDP as it's called by the locals. Thier mapping has a long way to go I think.

Can you navigate by zip code with TT?

 

[mrlong]

You can navigate with US Zips. I tried using a Canadian Postal Code and it's not as accurate. My postal code is T0K 0K0. The unit only accepts the first 3 digits and when I input T0K it gives me a city 50 miles away.

 

[unpltd]

you mean postal code lol

Well........yes AND no

1091 is on the map but the street is mispelled as 'Dwigth' though the correct spelling is shown for the town.

You can send a map correction to TomTom about the incorrectly spelled street name. I just found it kinda funny.

 

[s2ksimon]

once i get the unit, I'll be definitely letting them know


thanks again

 

[s2ksimon]

one more request

I have one more request.

My grand parents house..

958508 7th Line
Glencairn, ON L0M 1K0

my garmin did not pick this up. I had my buddy who lives close sit in front of the house, mark the waypoint on his unit and then he emailed with it to add it to my waypoint and then I saved it.

this one will be difficult and I may have to do the same thing.


thanks
