I owned a Garmin for quite a while, until it was stolen. I got this Tomtom as a replacement. One thing I used on the Garmin often was the search. You could type in the name of a business like "Wal Mart" and it would list all the Wal Mart's near you. Does the Tomtom do this? I cannot find it in the menu, though I am not very familiar with this layout yet.
