New Genesis 4.6 owner here ... with a question about the Navigation system. Thanks for your forum contributions. They've been a great help to me.
When entering a destination through the controller (not voice commands), the first step is to enter the street name (presuming that the state is correct). I don't know about you but I live in a big state, Texas, and there are many streets in Texas with the same name but different directionals (N, S, E, W) and suffixes (lane, circle, drive, street, court, boulevard, etc). On several occasions, I entered the name of the street, Kirby for example, and been presented with a long list of hits. The system didn't "rationalize" the list. In other words, they are all listed instead of treating W Kirby, Kirby, Kirby DR and Kirby ST as "the same" until after a city was selected.
Consequently, I used trial and error to find the street that I wanted. Quite a pain. It did not seem that the street list was in proximity order. And I could not find a way to enter the city FIRST via the controller. (Note: you can enter the city first via voice commands.)
To add injury to accident, after I picked the wrong street (multiple times), I couldn't find a way to go back to the street list. Rather, I had to start from the beginning.
So, is there a way to enter the city first via the controller? Is there a way for the system to ignore directionals and suffixes when selecting a street? Is there a way to sort the street list by proximity? Is there a better way of doing this that I haven't discovered?
I hope that this is clear. Any help here would be appreciated. As a side note, our Honda minivan Nav system doesn't have this problem. It ignores directionals and suffixes.
