Garmin C 340 problems

This problem has recently started happening. When hitting "Address", it goes to spell state, but the alphabet page only flashes momentarily then goes to a "list" that has no states on it. Hitting "back" takes you back to the alphabet page, but touching the first letter of the state takes you back to the blank list page. How do I get this thing to take the "state" like it used to do?

    Sometimes when I start to type in the address, the garmin switches back to the state address again. I tried turning the unit off and back on to resolve the problem. Sometimes it works while other times, it does not.

I had the same problem and finally found the solution. If you go to "map Info" you will see the version of your preloaded Garmin map database. Well, look carefully because there is a box next to it. Apparently, it needs to be checked or "enabled" before you can use it. Once I did that everything started working. Why this isn't done from the factory is a mystery to me. This should be discussed in the quick start guide IMHO.

How to add address to a destination state other than the one you are in
From the main menu, Tap where to, then address, then on the page on the bottom right hand side you'll see "Change state", tap that and on the next page tap spell state or province, and then type in the state you want as your destination.

When I try to spell states it goes right to no matches found on the 1st entry
After powering up the unit and selecting address, the unit displays, "In What State is the Address? and Spell State. When I press Spell State, it has No Matches Found. When I press Back and attempt to enter the first letter of any state, the unit displays "No Matches Found".

Reset did not work. Still cannot enter state. When I hit spell state the gps responds no matches found. When I hit back - the alphabet appears but as soon as i hit a letter the GPS responds no matches...
The problem may be because the text language is British English. To be able to enter a state it must be in American English. To change to American English follow the instructions below;
  1. On the 'Main Menu' press the 'Settings' icon.
  2. Select the 'Locale' icon.
  3. Change the 'Text Language' to 'American English'.
  4. The unit will now allow 'States' to be entered.

Street Pilot c330 GPS won't let me input an address.
Click on tool icon on lower right corner. Touch Map icon. Touch
map Info icon in center of screen. Touch City Navigator North America NT v8 icon so that the box is checked. Then click on back until you reach "Where To?" screen. If "Touch City Nav..." box is not checked, then you cannot input state.

Cannot select another state on Garmin 660.
1. From the Where To? View Map, Travel Kit page press WHERE TO

2. Press ADDRESS

3. Press SPELL STATE (should be the 2nd blue box on the page & may read SPELL COUNTY)

4. Press the letter K and Kansas + Kentucky will come up; Press the letter T and Tennessee + Texas will come up, etcetera

5. If the information does not automatically appear, hit DONE and the information will appear. For example on my nuvi 660 if I hit the letter “A” nothing happens until I hit DONE.

6. After pressing the single letter for the sate/province in which you are interested, the unit will prompt you to spell the CITY name.

You will then enter the information as it applies.

StreetPilot c 340 does not allow to enter address
Ok, you've tried a reset, but have you tried a Master Reset? Doing this WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR FAVORITES, but it may help. Turn the unit off. Press the "On" button with your finger on the bottom right of the screen at the same time. Release the "On" button, but keep pressing the screen until the unit asks if you're sure you want to reset all data. Press "Yes". See if this helps.

Where to only provides the state you are in--can't be changed
It sounds as if you have an older software. However newer software, don't press address, but rather press near... at the bottom of the where to page, and select"a different city" or on the where to page select spell, and spell a name that you know appears in the adjacent state, but not yours...

Good Luck, GB_C

If this doesn't work, upgrade your software, and try anew...
