Question about Garmin nuvi 350 GPS Receiver
SOURCE: Can't finish typing street address or city before choices are given I don't need
If the unit is not allowing you to continue to enter the street address, press the back button until you get to the city. Press "Search All" instead of the name of the city and try the address again. It could be that the unit has the address listed in a different city (it sometimes goes by how the post office lists the ZIP code). See if this helps. As for taking the unit apart to access the reset button, all you have to do is remove the faceplate. There is an intentation under the top. Insert your fingertip and pull it forward. Carefully remove the faceplate, and the reset button is on the right hand side.

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.

Use a Garmin 1450
The Garmin Nuvi 1450 can be used while driving or walking.
While driving, use the Nuvi 1450 to create a route to your destination and get step-by-step directions, to hear the names of upcoming streets, to tell you when to change lanes and to find out the speed limits on unfamiliar streets.
As a pedestrian, you can have the Nuvi 1450 create a route for you that uses a mixture of walking and public transportation, such as the subway or bus system, if you have purchased cityXplorer maps for that area.
Tap "Where to?" to set up a route. The "Where to?" icon is a large magnifying glass.
Tap "Addresses." The available categories are address, points of interest, go home, recently found, favorites and intersections.
Input the name of the state or county, if it is out of town.
Then tap "Spell city." Spell out the name of the city using the pop up keyboard.
Press "Done."
Enter the address number and press "Done."
Then enter the street name and press "Done."
The "Go" screen opens automatically.
Tap the green "Go" button. The Nuvi 1450 will now calculate a route to the address.
Follow the voice prompts and map highlight to your destination.
Navigate Using Coordinates
Tap "Where to?" and then tap "Coordinates."
Tap the coordinate you want to adjust/input a new coordinate.
Tap "Format" to choose the right coordinate format for the map you are using.
Enter the coordinates. Tap "Next."
Tap the green "Go" button to calculate a route.
Use the Map Page
Navigate to your destination by following the voice prompts, highlighted route on the map and directions located at the top of the map screen.
Tap the "turn" icon located in the upper left corner of the screen to see the next turn. It may have a turning or straight arrow and the number of miles until the turn.
Tap the bar across the top with the next direction listed on it to see a list of all directions.
Tap the plus or minus signs on the right side of the screen to zoom in or out.
Press the spinning arrow in the lower left corner of the screen to return to the main menu.
Tap the "car" icon traveling along the highlighted route to enter the "Where Am I?" screen and get your exact location, coordinates and nearby emergency services.
Hope this helps
Turn the ignition switch to "ON" or "ACC."
Press the "NAV" button on the center console, and tap "Accept" to open the navigation menu.
3 Tap "Destination Entry."
Tap "Go" to activate route guidance. The system will give you turn-by-turn directions to your selected destination.
