Brian, I will be maintaining a note book just for the Cobra. The address in Port Allen is gone. My Qualcom has it's own issues. I have to erase any messages that are stored to look at the new ones.
I really appreciate your time and efforts. That is one reason the Cobra is still in my truck.

Okay, next question.
If I bring up and use a POI and stop along the way and shut off the gps. It wll not remember where I was going in the "recently found" area. I have to go back to POI and look it up again. Am I doing something wrong? -

OK got in from the road yesterday.
I went from the Pilot in Dickson TN. I entered 220 Hwy 125S in Middleton TN. BB took me to another empty field. AFAIK she took me to 220HWY 125S in Bolivar. I was way North of Middleton.
Next I delivered to Pep Boys DC in McDonough GA.
55 Liberty Industrial Parkway to 190 Greenwood Drive McDonough GA.
When I pulled out to the road that went to I-75 BB told me to go right, QT convience store on the corner. It took me on a round about way to finally get to the Home Depot DC. When I pulled out I was headed to the Petro off I-285W. BB had me go out of the entrance to the left. I had come in from the other side. I looked and there was a no trucks sign the way I had come from! (It was rather residential looking.) I went a short ways and took a right........there was the QT I had taken a right at in front of Pep Boys!
Going to the McKesson Corp in Duluth GA on another trip. It kept giving me "route calculation failure check truck restrictions" wouldn't take me there at all. It would take me to Evergreen Blvd. Not the same street. I found I have to store a different type truck to get to some places. I make myself a 2 axel 26K truck 13'6" high.
Brundidge AL looking for a Walmart DC. The street didn't come up in the street names. 1006 Sara C Lotte Blvd. I could see the sign at the interesection with US231.
Shaw Industries Plant #82 2274 Hwy 76 Chatsworth GA BB took me to the West Side of town when I needed to go East another 1-3 miles.
Sometimes the street list won't let you have a NW or W or E when it is on the address I get from the company. These places aren't new they have been there for years. -
Also another Walmart DC would not come up at all. Hope Mills NC the street didn't show on the street list. I couldn't even put Main St. in because of truck restrictions. It was like Hope Mills didn't exist. IIRC I tried about every street that I could find on that list. It wasn't going to take me there.
Sorry I deleted the address for this one. -
OK, just got it yesterday! I notice in the Configuration screen there is an "Auto scale" icon but I haven't been able to find a description or determine what this does. Anybody know?
-
If you click the "Auto Zoom Next Turn" box, then the zoom level will automatically change to show the next turn on the route. If the next turn is not for 100 miles, then it will zoom out so that you can see it on the screen.
