[mkgmap-dev] cannot search for street/address when sending to device via Mac Garmin MapInstall

Dear Clinton,

Thanks for testing.  I tried other maps known to have search address
enabled and my unit cannot use the address search as well.  I'm
inclined to conclude that this is device specific (mine is Nuvi 1310)
