Help finding Sixflags IL address in my GPS! Please?

Question

I'm trying to find the route to Sixflags in IL in my GPS, I input IL (for the state), then Gurnee (for the city) then 542 (house number) and then North Route 21, and my Garmin says that Not Matches Found! What do you think might the problem.

By the way the sky right now is so so cloudy, so my satellite signal is 1 bar (red)-is this the reason?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Satellite reception won't affect the unit's ability to find an address.  The problem is that the street may not be labeled as Route 21 in the GPS receiver.  That is the problem with roads with multiple names.  It could be called Illinois Route 21 or Milwaukee Avenue in the GPS receiver.  If you want to set Six Flags as a GOTO in the GPSr, just pan and zoom to the location, put the cursor on the street near the park, then set the GOTO for that point.
