[mkgmap-dev] Address Searches on new GPSmap66S

Wed Nov 7 11:25:46 GMT 2018

Hi Gerd

I have been in contact with someone at Garmin about another bug and will 
ask him about it.

I can see where they are coming from , ie city navigator maps don't seem 
to 'popular'

Interestingly , have tested this bug on a Topo France with the same 
result so it might be a bug.

With this gps not problems with searching for restaurants
