Where To? > (Find) Address. When it shows "Find address in North Carolina" or something to that effect, there should be a button at the bottom for "State". Tap that, and it will prompt you to start spelling the state you want (you usually only have to enter the first or second letter of the state before it comes up with a list for you to choose from).
