    Hi to all.

    Long time user, but a little rusty, not to mention comfy with smartphones and (vastly superior IMHO) navigation apps.
    But there are times that our little Garmin is indispensable, a true lifesaver.

    My question is this:
    I have a Nuvi 1410, with the 5.00T Greek version installed, so based on the info on the download page, the multilingual version is a no go, right?
    Or maybe should I try the multilingual first? Anybody else tried it on a device that old?

    The device is able to display English and Greek characters correctly, but the search for address function behaves erratically almost every time,
    ie the search for a city works with Greek characters and displays results just fine and in Greek,
    but the search for street name, although able to type in Greek, shows no results, so you have to perform a search for street name in greeklish in order to display results.
    And believe me I have no trouble with greeklish, but the results are awful, and inconsistent, such as Tinou and/or Thnou or Tynou (for Τήνου) as street name results.
    And that's just one of what I encountered recently and for such a small word, you can imagine what happens in longer and more difficult words.
    So sometimes you have to perform a search in every imaginable combination of greeklish to find the correct one.
    Anybody else experience this behavior?

    And, if the multilingual version does not work, what version would you advice to install, the Greek or the English version?
    Is there a way to avoid that horrendous greeklish situation?
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
