What kind of error message did you get when trying to search via Address? Also how did you generate the map and how did you install it in GMXT?

If you've got "Not Found", so the Address is probably working after all. Which address are trying to search anyway? Also try not specify city (Spell City) when searching, instead just select "Search all cities".

You try first using this ready-to-use GMAPSUPP.IMG: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jjo155nkn ... 1_Lite.zip And make sure only that map is installed.

personally what u key in while searching for street names as well as POI much depends on how the mappers describe them. but of course with some key words, the results will come out faster
