anyway to find an exit

[jtpryan]

OK, so I'm driving down 495 in the Boston area today and come upon traffic stopped dead. I call 511 and find that traffic is all bound up until "Woburn st exit". This is great but I can't seem to find a way for my 140s to find an exit by name. If I look for an intersection it wants the city first, and I have no idea what city this exit is in.

Funny thing is I have a very old handheld GPS that would list all the exits coming up and how far away they were, but this 140 won't do it.

Am I missing something?

I guess that's the way it is, meaning there is no easy way to find out.

My suggestion in your case (or similar case)
+ identify where you are (at or close to which exit#)
+ Browse Map, from where you're, along the route, in your case, is I-495, keep panning until you see the intersection of I-495 and Woburn St.

I know it's a pain, but at least you can do it while stay still under traffic jam.
