Honestly, you've made at least two mistakes transcribing the address to
us, and you've abbreviated words in it in a wide variety of ways. I'm a
little less than 100% confident that your entry into the Nüvi's screens
is perfect.

BTW - what map are you using....
Tools -> Settings -> Map -> bottom menu bar (Map Info)
which ones are checkmarked ?

CN North America NT 2010.30
abbreviated as CN NA NT 2010.30

(in chicago area)

where to -> address
for me... at bottom... change State/Country to New Jersey

Spell City -> wood (click done to see what comes up)
Wood-Ridge
Woodbine
Woodbridge

(click W-R)

<enter house number> 175 (done)

<enter street> (123 mode) 17 (done)

Doesn't display the info when the OP posts that the city is
"woodbridge", though... Which seems to have been ultimately the problem.

So the lesson involving any database:
Do not spell any more than you are sure is correct,
THEN see what comes up

Don't forget Smiş :-)

The fourth character is thorn, in case it didn't show on your screen.
It's one of two Icelandic and Old English (Anglo Saxon) letters for th.
It's the one often shown as y, as in "ye olde fussbudget" (me, in this
instance), when thorn dropped out of common usage, so "ye" really
represents "the".

Your advice is better than my reply :-)
