Had a disappointing experience trying find a place while I was in Melaka 2 days ago. :(

I am looking for this place called "Taman Nanyang" with MFM 100208 on my Nuvi 200 (F/W 5.00). I tried searching using "nanyang" and results in Johor (Tangkak, Segamat, Yong Peng) came up but none in Melaka, though my location is in Melaka. So, I though the POI is not in the map.

Later I realized "Taman Nanyang" is indeed in the map as I can see the POI in both Nuvi (using Browse Map) and also found the same in MapSource.

But why didn't it turn up in the Search Results ? :-?

U search via "cities" or POI?
Taman should be search via cities. Works on nuvi200.

I searched via POI->Spell Name.

Thanks for the pointer.

I managed to locate the Taman via "Cities" after several tries. I was lazy to spell the full name and used "nanyang" as keyword -> "No Match Found"

I realized "Spell" in Cities requires the front of the string to match the POI, eg "Taman Nan" will return the right result, but "Nanyang" alone will not.

This is probably a deficiency of the Nuvi firmware, nothing related to MFM.

Better find by spell full name for POI, road name & places. The 1st string are significant.
Hope can help :peace:

Actually the only situation that the front of the string is absolutely needed to match the name is if you search via Cities. As POI > Spell Name, the string can be anywhere within the name. While for Address search, for most of the time, any (complete) word within the name can be sufficient already, although more correct words (in the right order) will result in more narrowed search.
