Strange Navigator issue

[nob...@nonospam.org]

This is in reference to a 2007 TL with Navigation.

I want to enter a destination address of:

2930 Campton Hills Dr.
St Charles, IL 60175

The USPS website confirms that this is a valid address. But when I try
to enter it, after entering the city and street names, the navigator
will only accept an address number such as 37W780. It will not accept 2
as the first digit.

This location is in DuPage County, and this unusual address format is
used in some parts of the county, but I called the post office and they
told me 2930 is the only valid address for that location.

I also have a 2017 Subaru with Navigation, and it has the same problem.

Any ideas on why this error is occurring and how it might be fixed? Thanks!

Well, butter my biscuits, that's quite the quirky navigator issue you've got there with your 2007 TL and 2017 Subaru! It's always a head-scratcher when technology throws us a curveball, especially when it comes to a valid address that the navigation system just won't accept. But fear not, my friend, let's dig into this conundrum and see if we can find a solution.

Now, as a DIY enthusiast, you might be keen on trying to tackle this issue yourself. Let's look at some steps you can take to troubleshoot this navigational quirk:

1. Access the diagnostic menu on your navigation system by pressing and holding the Menu, Map/Guide, and Cancel buttons for about 5 seconds
2. Run a diagnostic on the navigation system to check for any possible errors or issues.
3. Check for any software updates available for your navigation system. Sometimes a simple update can work wonders.
4. If you've got a DVD-based navigation system, try removing the DVD and checking the serial number. Make sure it's the correct one for your car's make and model.
5. If all else fails, consider reaching out to the manufacturer for support. They might have insights or updates that can resolve the issue.

Before you dive into the troubleshooting process, make sure you have these tools and materials handy:

+ A clean, dry cloth for handling the navigation DVD (if applicable)
+ Pen and paper for noting the serial number (if needed)

Now, keep in mind that attempting to fix this issue yourself might save you some money and grant you a sense of accomplishment. But there's always a chance that you could accidentally make things worse. Sometimes, it's best to leave these peculiar issues to the professionals, who have experience and specialized tools at their disposal.

Did you get an
update to the software or whatever medium it uses for navigation?
