Entering an address in a Garmin 705...?
« on: 17 February, 2010, 10:08:45 pm »
I must be pretty thick:

I'm trying to enter an address in the 705 - not from a PC but in the device itself. I find the postcode, but then what do I do? If I press the 'Enter' joystick it takes me back up a level and forgets what I've just done. Nothing to suggest anything at all - no 'Enter' buttons, or 'Go to' or anything like that.

Can anyone help me? I know I'll kick myself...

Cheers,
Andy

Never seen one but in the eTrex models it is necessary to fill in the address fields in order, starting at the top. Each time a field gets populated with valid data it enables the search on the one below it.

Thanks Plum. I found my answer late last night, and it's pretty much what you said: all fields have to be filled in otherwise it doesn't work. Not great usability from Garmin here since there's no mention that the other fields are mandatory.

All I do if I have the postcode is enter the postcode in the 'City' field followed by the house number.
