ADDRESS SEARCH WITH NON-STANDARD HOUSE NUMBERS
The problem with old Garmin devices is
the following: address search is only possible for
purely numeric house ranges, because the house number
search menu of most devices
does not have the buttons for typing the fraction sign or any letters:
We have found an elegant
solution that completely solves this problem -
the idea is to substitute the fraction symbol with "00", and in such a way, e.g. the house
number 7/6 is written as 7006,number 47/1 - as 47001,
202/3 - as 202003, etc.:
In a similar fashion we solved the problem with house numbers containing letters:
first the
numeric house number's part is entered, then type in"00", followed by:
1 - for letter A
2 - for letter B
3 - for letter C
4 - for letter D
5 - for letter E
9 - for letters F...Z (there are very
few of them), except lettersV (put 7) and G (put8).
Respectively, for house numbers based on Cyrillic alphabet, we type "00" and:
1 - for A / А
2 - for B / Б
7 - for V / В
8 - for G / Г
4 - for D / Д
5 - for E / Е
9 - for letters Ж...Я (there are very few of them).
Therefore,
the house number 17a shall be typed in as 17001,number 4b - as 4002,
24c - as 24003, 175v - as
175007, 8k - as 8009, etc.:
