I have noticed that several people have been asking this question in a few of the previous posts but no satisfactory answer has been given.
This problem shows up in both the Garmin app from Installous AND the stripped down app obtained from this forum.

Here is the problem:
All functions like map recognition, POI and even navigation to the nearest intersection seem to work just fine.
When the address icon is selected it prompts to input the following:
House number - accepts that with no problem and moves on
Street name - seems to come up with the right street name but leaves it vague (St,Ct,plz,blvd, etc). When you click on the suggested street or ignore it and type in the whole name of the street, it makes no difference as the program comes up with "Sorry: "street number and name here" could not be found.
Then it advises you to press the "search near button" to change the area you are searching. This pops up the city, state, etc window.
Upon insertion of the city name it goes back and still claims that such street could not be found.

So...it works fine with street intersections and seems to not have any trouble finding them but when asked for a specific address it comes up with an error.

Has anyone experienced this exact problem? Changing of the maps, rebooting or re-installation of the programs do not seem to make any difference. Is there a setting somewhere that can fix that?
Anyone that has had this problem and managed to resolve it please reply

Copy all the SID files to the SID folder, it will find the correct address faster. Some sid files may not be required but I don't know which one so I just copy the five sid files from CNNA 2012.40 to the SID folder and it works fine and fast.
Don't forget that you must fix the file permission of all the files copied as directed including your map and jvc files

The only problem I have is that Garmin has a very strong snap to street so it will show that you are on a nearby street when you are actually in a parking lot. Anybody know how to fix this?

Is this possible to be done in Garmin iphone? Where is exactly the GPX folder in garmin iphone or is there any gpx folder in Garmin iphone?

my goal is just trying to do what I have been always been doing in Garmin mobile XT on my P990i, it has features to import/export gpx file, such we can modify it and put the tracks on top of the garmin map that we are having...

thanks in advance...

If you use I fun Box you can see all files in your Idevice you can export to PC but you cant remove , add files in < Garmin apps > except if you create a folder name SD Card now you can import / export files in Garmin/SD Card/GPX
