Check your search_menu.plist to see if it has this:

<dict>

<string>XTLocalSearchViewController</string>
<key>icon</key>
<string>d_google.png</string>
<key>id</key>
<string>local_search</string>
<key>name</key>
<string>local_search</string>
</dict>

Also make sure there is a local_search_providers.plist, and that it at least contains this:

<dict>
<key>icon</key>
<string>d_google.png</string>
<key>logo</key>
<string>d_google_logo.png</string>
<key>name</key>
<string>google</string>
<key>vendor</key>
<string>Google</string>
</dict>

If after all that you still can't get Google Local Search to appear, then I'd say remove all of the Garmin-related entries in your /etc/hosts file, reboot your iPhone to make sure it can still read /etc/hosts, then add just the entry for "127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com" (w/o the double quotes) as the very last line (do not hit Enter or otherwise insert a carriage return), save the file, reboot your iPhone again, then see what happens. Are you sure you don't have some kind of firewall-like program installed? Because everything seems to be pointing to the Garmin app not being able to talk to downloadg/bronze/triplew/silver.garmin.com...

thanks, did all that, check all the strings and they are all there... deleted that from hosts... even deleted the hosts.. Installed hosts again... I don't know what else to try... please tell me the order I have to write in hosts the garmin entries... to add the lines that way.. and also any other special permissions need to be set to that hosts file?

thanks tony

Don't add anything else in /etc/hosts other than the default stuff.

These are the screens, but still no google search, or the other things... garmin 2.2 maps 2013.40 all functional... missing some features still tony. please post the order you have the entries in the host file. thanks
