Unable to add street addresses after entering some cities as the letters do not light. New unit. Replacement for another new unit that did same thing with T cities.
SOURCE: Question about entering address
First enter the state and then the city.
There are several cities with the same name in different states and therefore the street names would be different. However if you are first entering the state and then the city and the street name dosent show , then you will need to update the map on the GPS. For this you will need to contact customer service.

I think Magellan makes it so if you don't update your map every year it will freeze up. Mine does the same thing and they told me to buy an update for $99 last year so I did and it worked and then after it started telling me my map was over a year old this year it started freezing up again. I don't want to pay $99 every year to keep this thing working. I wonder if Garman or Tomtom does the same thing.

This might be a long shot but I read some time ago that you must select American English as the language to have the option to change states. I know it sounds crazy. To change the language to American English:
Press TOOLS (The spanner symbol)
Press SETTINGS or LOCALE (which ever is on your satnav)
Press LANGUAGE
You'll get a screen with Text Language, Voice Language and Keyboard.
Press Text Language and select American English.
That might solve the problem.
Another person who had the same problem updated his map and software. That solved the problem for him. However it's chancy spending money if you're not sure it's going to work so I'd suggest updating the software which is free first. To update the software;
Download and install webupdater from http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=999-99999-27
Connect your satnav to your computer and run the webupdater program. It will search for updates to your software.
If you decide to update your map you can find details on how to do so at http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps
I hope one of these will solve your problem.
