Hi Malaina,
If you enter in an address and then the system asks which cross
street you would like to use, then what has happened is that address
wasn't found on that street. This could be map error or you could be
looking in the wrong city. There are some cities which streets run
through and TeleAtlas uses a different city name for that section of
the street. I know very crazy, we have a whole section in our manual
on ways around looking up addresses. Something to try is the
following: If you can physically go to this school then add your own
user POI this will be the most accurate and can then be sent to
Sendero and it will be included for all users. Also once you go to
the physical location you can see what city the system "thinks" you
are in, and then you can ask for detailed city information which will
not only give you the city, but the county, street and address range
of the street you are on.
Thanks
Charles.

I am having a problem recreating a poi that was taken off the new
map for Michigan. For some reason the location of the school was in
the previous maps but in both it current and it previous
locations. Now the only location is the old one. Once I find the
name of the old location I can rename it so I don't plan on taking
it off the map. But I am trying to put the current address into the
map and when I type the address it asks for a cross street. Is
there a way I can set the correct address with out having to give a
cross street? I think I am going to enjoy the new features of 5.0
once I can have a chance to go somewhere but I am finding a lot of
errors in the map data. I know sendero doesn't control the map data
from tele atlas.
Thanks for any help.
