XL 330s How do I input an house # like 2N256?

[drmarty]

Some unincorporated sections of my area use a county grid system for house/fire numbers, such as '3W600 Backwoods Rd.' Is there a way to put text and numbers into the house number field?

Important for me in the area. Some of these roads are long and not exactly N-S or E-W.

Thanks for any help, folks.

I'm guessing that the 2N, 3W, etc. are grids. As long as you have a street name, I'm wondering if you would simply enter 600 Backwoods RD. Here in Iowa we have a method that works kinda like this: Each County starts on the east border and ends on the west border with the names of streets being alphabetical. North to South, they are numbered. This makes it quite easy to find a rural address. I'm guessing that once you crack your method you will be able to enter those addresses. Good luck, Jack

Thanks for your suggestion, though. Unfortunately, I have returned my TomTom for another brand.

Not that it solved anything then, but there was a discussion on this topic about a year ago.

Looks as though it still hasn't been fixed in the series 8 maps.
