QUOTE=KG5S;2771375]Mark, I work in the oil/gas industry and travel down many gravel and paved secondary roads (all named roads) to pick up and drop off equipment, I have run the 720 for only 2 days and it names "very" few roads on screen , take for instance.......I was traveling out of Searcy AR on Hwy 36 , 8 miles west is Hwy 320 heading North (aka Morris school road) I have passed this road 8 times in the last 2 days and not one time has the unit placed "any" sort of lable on it, it will just show a white road leading off Hwy 36 and "most" roads (paved or unpaved) are the same on the map !

ETA: Mark, just to clear things up , the unit shows "every" road (gravel and paved) but places no names on them and thats the part I really need so I can find my turn.[/QUOTE]

In 3D, Heading up and North up at 7 miles from Searcy it does show at the bottom bar.

Try different zoom levels and different settings as in 3d, North up, Direction up.

As far as the "320" overlaying the road name this is in the mapset.

Thanks,

The screen cap you posted is what I wish mine would show but never would and it didn't matter what zoom level it was in and I was in the 3D mode. After seeing your screen cap, I can't help but think I have a problem with this unit, very "very" seldom does it ever name a street or road on the map !?!?[/QUOTE]

Have you tried in Heading up or North up yet at a closer zoom level?

Also toggle the white bar at the bottom to show next cross street.

Thanks,
Mark

- main screen/preferences/map/map auto zoom - off/on,autoscale/on, street scale/on, city scale/on, county scale.

If you have set to anysetting but off, if you pause in the zooming in or out it will automatically go back to the setting selected in about 5-8 seconds.

If you have set to Off, then it will stay at the zoom level you set.

If you hit the "+" symbol it should zoom in. Tap on it, wait a moment till it zooms in, then tap on it again... It should take you down to about 100'.

Thanks,
