Nuvi 660/state id problem

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".

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.

Please see this link. Your map is turned off.

update to a new, but not too new software

triple check to see if you are spelling the state correctly. If so you then have a defective product.

Next time you post be a little more specific in detail that way I can help you a lil further.

I called garmin and they walked me through the solution - select the NA map version under settings and restart.

Have you tried the reset button?(It has a label over it) it may be be locked up software, and requires a "reboot".

Spell county? Never seen a county option on a GPS. Usually its zip or city, street, street number.

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.
