Mixer88 is correct. Seems you cannot search for an address from the search bar as catymag demonstrated. Streetpilot will never find the address and the search times out. As mixer88 mentioned the only WORKING way to search for an address is to use the "Address" shortcut. Black Wolf stated you can move the address shortcut to the top to make the address search easier for now.

Same coding than Basecamp search tool ?

I cant understand what do you mean, if you refer to satellite bars icon it works and signal is strong too, I get 7 mtrs accuracy from inside.



Holding for a while upper right corner on Volume page you can get developer menu like in 3xxx and have satellites coloured bars
some menus are empty ,but some work.

....it is because I don't put libgarminos and libgmxt files to my sdcard/ext-sdcard during installation
thanks

1) I still have it, do you have files hidden in your Windows perhaps?
2) Pois are shown normally like in Nuvi 3xxx series with its poi icon bar on the left. See pics in post n1.
3) Press and hold for some seconds here

this menu will appear:

and you'll get pedestrian mode

It didn't disappear !!!
By pure coincindence, the .System folder is a "hidden" folder for Android (the dot in front of the name makes it "hidden").
When you connect your phone to your PC as an "external device" you cannot view any Android hidden files or folders (those with the dot in front).
You have to connect it as "external hard drive" (usb mass storage) to be able to view all Android hidden folders and files.

The coincidence is that the same folder name is used by Garmin in Nuvis, but this time is Garmin that has made this folder "hidden" and "protected" only in Windows !!!
The folder .System you use in Windows for StreetPilot is not "hidden" for Windows.
As soon as you copy this folder in your Android phone, Android recognizes it as "hidden" because of the dot in front of the name.
