Garmin Nuvi 3580 LMT: How to enter Postal Code ??

Former Member

This is about my 4th Garmin GPS and never had that issue before... Or what have I missed ?

1) on my previous models, when entering an address, I was starting with postal code (Canadian) which, of course is very practical, since afterward you just add the street number and 99 times out of 100 it will find the street name. Much more convenient (at least in Canada). However, this model seems to first ask for street number, then street name (which is an hassle, if it's called ''street'', ''boulevard'', ''avenue'', ''Cressent'', ''road'' or whatever, and has dash in the middle, apostrophy, and what else !.... Isn't there a way to get the unit suggest 3 ways (street, City, Postal code) just as the previous models?... (If not, frankly, I will get it back to the store as soon as tonight !)

2) Even if I start with the street number, next step will suggest to enter either a street name, *or* a postal code. Then another extremely high frustration here: if I start entering a (Canadian) postal code - format: H1H 1H1, then after first letter, numbers disappear and there's no way to get them, else then returning and... of course falling on the street number.
