Navigation - street name search

Hello,

Is there any way to enter street name and have navigation to that place? I was looking for it and found nothing.

I believe it could be difficult to type street name in previous generations but now with touch screen it is pretty comfortable and street names are saved together with maps.

Now I tried to find lake nearby. I clicked section All POI and typed in Polish name "lake". Fenix was looking for it endlessly. Lake is 2km from me in straight line. I also checked inf there is correct name at the map where lake is. Everything is correct but watch can't find it. Am I doing something wrong?

Probably lake isn't stored as POI in the map, but it's a natural object with a name xxx lake. It searches the POI data and doesn't look names of objects not set as poi.

The easiest solution I can think of is to use the Garmin Explore App. There you can search for a street name or lake and start the navigation on the connected watch. In general the app is not very good, but this is one of the few things it can do

Yes, there're also some apps in the store that can send points from other apps on the phone.
