HI all I have also faced the same issue, I know there are many cities with the same name. e.g. santa clara. there are 5 santa clara in united states. can navit provide a data of which santa clara is it referring to. this will become easy for user to select any one out of it.

Thanks Richard. That's probably it. A little bit annoying as sometimes there are 3-4 names - and one has to try each one in turn - as the road one is searching for will be in only one of them for some reason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
