Greetings
I have been attempting to look up addresses for poi's that are located on state 
highway 303 in Bremerton Washington.
It appears that the program wants a name, rather than a numeric value.
Is there a way to enter a numeric value for this field?  perhaps switching to 
computer braille on the pk would solve this problem.
Are there any long time pk users who can help with this?

Stuart

  Greetings Mike
  Thanks for the help.  I had forgotten about the "space c" command. 
  Here is what my display shows when using this command.
  "local, state hwy 303 ne, WA-303, state hwy 303,"
  I am still unable to look up any of these poi's by     address.

    Stewart,

    Use one of those 303 points to set as your virtual position. Then use 
    the Space C command to see if there is an alternate name for Highway 303.
