The one that drives me crazy is when I'm putting in a destination address, and the address is like 105 Route 9. It consistently rejects "Route x". It took me a while to discover that it recognizes only "Hwy x", even though the phone book, the place itself, and the freakin' post office!!! all use "Route x" in the address, not Hwy. Bleck!
