Question posted by vacal on May 15th, 2012

I Have A Garmin Nuvi And Purchased Europe Maps & Downloaded Them Onto A Sandisk.

I was able to program Italy addresses while still in the States a couple months ago.  Now I am going to Italy and when I try to put in "France" as the country, it says "no matches are found".  I tried Italy again and still says  "no matches are found".  I plugged the Garmin into my laptop, and it recognizes the Garmin as well as the Europe maps.  Why can't I program in the France addresses?
