I'm also no mapsource user. The most mysterious question for me is still 
what we have to do to enable the "Address" input function in the nuvi. 
Mine still asks to  "Spell County" but has no county. It should ask for 
a Country first but it looks like we have a US only map flag or 
something set by accident. I hope this is not part of some other img 
sections we don't have information about.

Thanks
Berni.
