Took me a while to find it but see this thread:

On a certain GPS model, empty city names caused a problem. So its not
that it never works, but may cause problems in some situations.

I also have a vague memory of another problem with blank names for POIs
(that may have been limited to place names) but I wasn't able to
find it.

I was also wondering about blank entries in lists when searching may
be confusing.
