Address Search in Canada

[CyCLoBoT]

I have created a GeoData file for Toronto but when I try searching for an address, it's not finding anything. Is it possible to look up address for Canada in MapThis?

i've got the same here with a dutch file
now that i managed the geodatafile i could not find any city
i know that the city's begin with a capital letter and then low case letters
but then i noticed that if i type the lowe case letters it's visible as capital letters maybe thats why i can't find the city's

is this a bug or is it me :confused:

press start and go to gps info
here you can see the sattelite
if you got the fix1 you can go
if fix is 0 you still have to wait for a lock on

Thanks johoo, so what is the deal with the geo data?
I remembe when creating maps i just go to the bottom left of GMDL, and then click on my country and geo data is checked off. So when i make the map , the geo data comes with the file?

As well ill try again late rinthe day and drive and see if it locks on, i remember it did yesterday, but does not TRACK WHERE I AM !

Thanks man just tried got a lock on FINALLY
works like a charm...my next step is prob get a wire to extend the gps...because it takes forever to get reception =P
hopefully that will help.
Thanks all.

Getting an extentioncable for the PSP-290 is not a bad idea, i have one myselve *ordered it from the same place i got my Factorumade cable and extra gizmos for my Holux GPS that is mouch sweeter in performance :)

Can you explain this other way of making the geodata. Im in Canada nd having problems to. To be specific im in Calgary.

[Arxidon]

I live in Calgary, AB and the geodata works decently. Gives the correct street name, but theres only like one address per street.
