You could either just type in part of name, say lagun, and itwould come up with the list or, of course, you could start an abortive search and then go back to look for Laguna.

An difficulty came up yesterday while demonstrating the GPS at aCalifornia state NFB convention regarding address matching and I thought some of you may not be familiar with the problem and solution.
The example was an address look-up for the city of Laguna inCalifornia. The first time you search on Laguna, you come up with 7 city names, all starting with the word Laguna but only one that says Laguna. Choose Laguna and complete the rest of the fields.
Now another person asks for an address in Laguna Hills, which wasone of the 7 original Laguna matches found. You press Chord S and California is taken as the default state field and then Laguna is presented as the default City field. If you type in Laguna Hills, it will say city not found. Strange, you say, because you just saw Laguna Hills in the list from the last search. If you type in Laguna at this point, it just says Laguna chosen and moves on to the next field.
Come to think of it, instead of telling you the answer, I'll askyou, what is the work around? How do you find Laguna Hills in this situation?
