I've had the Avic-N3 for about a month now, nice unti overall, but one thing frustrates me.

I have yet to find one single address that works, instead I get "that address does not exist" even on old businesses.

Today, I was able to do a reverse lookup to find a business.

Pioneer says I have the lastest version disc.

I've used the Alpine on my Wife's MDX and it works great even though the software is 3 years old.

Am I doing something wrong, any body else having this issue?

Have you changed the search location to your zone?

I have a Pioneer Avic-D1 and I have the same problem.  The latest new 2006 disks are even worse than the older verison 1.0 2005 disks. In comparison to my garming gps using NavTech maps, the Pioneer / TeleAtlas maps just, quite frankly, are awful.  I love the Pioneer unit, but I wish they used NavTech maps.

I used to sell different types of GPS units and I've found that you have to be very carefull with how you identify the city and street names.
For example, in New Jersey there is a Union City, Union Township, and Union County. Many addresses couldn't be found because the unit was searching the wrong town.
Also there are many variations on how you name freeways, some are state some US and some local.
My suggestion is to scroll the map and manually find the street you are looking for (if you know where it is). If you can't find it then it's not on your software, if you do find it then note the spelling.

Yes, I did set the zone for the Pacific northwest, feel like there is still something I'm not doing, thanks for the idea though.

Cartoys installed and set it up for me, maybe I should call customer service becasue I can't find one thing in the manual I'm NOT doing.

Yesterday I hit the "return home" button and even though it was nearly a straight road 14 miles long to my home in the country, it would try to get me to take a left here and a right there.

Even the red line to the destination nearly went right down the road I was traveling, yet it was turn here, turn there and at the end tried to route me up thru town then back down to direction I was heading in the first place..... frustrating!
