Default Re: Help Please with GPS

Just traded our 2004 Prius, which showed nothing in TV south of 466, where we're located, for a 2008 one which does show our street. However, we have to enter 'Lady Lake' as city, not 'The Villages.' Not sure where in TV you're located, but try the various towns around TV, particularly the ones closest to you. Friends of ours in TV have a 2006 that does not show their street. I suggested they program the nearest intersection that IS in there; in their case it was CR-466 (and it needed the hyphen to be recognized!) and CR-100 (if I remember right, where CVS is). The south side of CR-100--Belvedere Blvd.--did not show. GPS systems are fantastic but they do have their limitations (once put us on 10 miles of sandy unpaved road on our way to Jacksonville as we headed north...), and sometimes it's necessary to figure out how to 'talk GPS,' as with having to put the hyphen in.... Good luck--and keep badgering the dealer about an update!
