I've downloaded and installed, but when I search for street names it no longer allows me to enter the "state", so I end up with many more hits than before.

I may have to report this to Garmin.

I have also foudn the same problem with searching up a state on the New mapsource program. Which should be fixed up as there is some streets around that can be found in every state.
