Exclamation Comand navi question?

Is it normal for the navi when you input a destInation or an actual street address for it to not allow you to input the actual house number but it gives you a range of house numbers ie: 4500...4510 sequence??? Why is that?? I got the new 2010 updated disk. please help!!

His mama. Traded y0 mama in because she was squeaking.
Yup. Seriously.

MB wants you to parade up and down the block until you can find the house number you're looking for. This way, the neighbors will wonder who the Mercedes driver is visiting.

Not really.

When my MB salesman demo'd the nav system to me 4 yrs ago, he said that using a house number range, instead of a specific number, was designed by MB for your privacy/security reasons.
I agree it's odd, but it hasn't caused any nav problems so far. It always gets me to where I need to go.
I know many people with GPS nav systems who save their "home" destination using a landmark location about a mile from where they actually live - again for personal security reasons.
