Naming a Favorite

[Bigguy]

Today when I was loading several "Favorites" I decided I would put the persons name and address in the description. I wanted to do this because there isn't a way to view just the address once you have it stored as a favorite. However once I hit "ok" to save the name of the favorite, it puts the numbers of the address at the front and everything else behind that.

Example: I enter "John - 123 Main St." What I get is "123 John - Main St."

Is this normal? Anyone else seen this? Why doesn't it save it as it was entered?

I KNOW there is a setting somewhere that asks whether you want street numbers before or after street names.

I'm sorry but I don't have the unit with me to tell you the exact steps to get to it. But play around with the Preferences and you should find the setting. It IS there.

Yes it is normal and completely annoying. What you can do is if you want to is enter it as "John-123 Main St." and it will display the name first and not the number.
