[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1455085, member: 91458"] My TomTom 550's internal destination search fails to turn up obvious locations. "Obvious" is defined as "in TomTom's online route planner". I would greatly appreciate it if a few 550 owners could attempt to locate two businesses: Ace Hardware, 467 Main St, Harleysville, PA 19438 and Boot Barn 2641 MacArthur Rd, Whitehall, PA 18052 Please tell me how you localized the search - that is, if you're in Denver, CO, Harleysville (real name - and there's no Harley dealer in Harleysville) and Whitehall, PA aren't local to you. I've been thrashing with TomTom support about the fact the 550 can't find locations which can be found online. Somehow, they think the Ace Hardware is a new location - it's been in the same place for 20+ years, AFAIK 10+ years for Boot Barn. Searches for many locations fail the same way, not just these two. I think something's wrong with my 550, but, for some stupid reason, I can't get it to do a full reset (Hold the power button down until a text screen or "boot screen" shows up - let and then push the power button three times in quick succession - 1-2-3. That should force a reset beyond the reset in the system menu. My 550 reboots as soon as I reach the boot screen and release the power button. Here's how the search works online, and how it works on my 550. I'm fully patched, and the maps are the current versions. So far, TomTom has no explanation other than recommending suggesting map update(!).
