NAV entry help

OK, I'm starting to get pissed off at this $2K POS! Not only will Mazda not upgrade me to newer firmware, half the time it won't even recognize a destination. Can someone please help by trying out an address for me? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I tried to get directions to the following address last weekend, and after 10 minutes of frustration with the nav system, I went back in the house and printed it out on Mapquest.

306 State Hwy 46 West
Boerne, TX 78006


I tried entry all kinds of different ways, and it never could find HWY 46. I have the old nav firmware. If someone can make this work with the new firmware, then maybe I can convince Mazda to upgrade me. BTW, HWY 46 has existed for years, so it should have at least recognized the highway.

PLEASE HELP!

Hope nobody's out there trying it - I figured it out. It likes TX-46. Not Hwy 46, not State Hwy 46, not St. Hwy 46. I had to scroll over to the highway on the map and it showed me the designation. Damn, this thing is picky!

It just takes some getting used to.

STate highways are like WV-17 (West Virginia Route 17) and major ones are apparently US-64
