Hi Mary: It really is initially a little tricky to find the address bar in the iPad. It helps to orient your hand on the screen from the center/top, about where time is. Right below time is the current address you're in. If you tap this, a "clear text" option will appear just to the right of that address. Once you find and tap that, you can use the keyboard to enter a new destination address. If that doesn't work out, the google searh field is in the upper right quadrant of the screen at the top. I've learned to slow down a lot on the larger screen. The little things that sound like bubbles, or golf swings (ok don't laugh at me.:) are indications that you're passing over something. I've found if I move too fast over these, VO can't get a word in. HTH a little.
