    It keeps reverting to DC as the default U.S. state for entering a destination even after changing it to a different state when looking up an address.
    How do you make it save the last state you used for an address?

    This may be a stupid question, but are you sure you are hitting Save in the bottom right corner of your screen after making the change of states?

    I am not having any problem with the Nav using the correct state when entering addresses.

    I'm entering the addresses completely by voice and it recognizes the change because I am then able to go to the next screen and access addresses in the correct state.

    After the car is restarted, it sometimes goes back to DC and I have to say "Change State" once again to input the city and then the street name.

    I noticed that if I use the touch screen to enter an address by hand, it has the correct region selected, but if I do it by voice, it keeps defaulting to the District of Columbia and then you have to give the command "Change State" to choose a different area.
    Very annoying time waster.
    Is there a fix or is this a defect?

    Do it by hand once and save it.

    It already has the correct region chosen when I do it by hand, so there is nothing to save.
    I don't see any option to save it when done by voice.

    I didn't think you can SAVE it by STATE, but by the list of states in the region.....

    Check you NAVIGATION manual but I think it's regional, not one specific state????

    I could be wrong, but that's what I recall from my setup.....

    None of that applies to using voice commands.

    They you are good. Once you set it by hand it stays. You can't save it by voice.

    It is only saved when using the touch screen.
    It still isn't changed when using voice. There is something missing in the steps.
    Saving by the touch screen ONLY saves it when you use the touch screen.
    The voice commands forget the state every time.

    I just tried my Voice Command for entering a new destination Address. I have already saved several addresses in NC in my system. When the Voice Command took me to address entry, the NC state was already displayed. I would think that had to do with me saving other addresses in the system with probably the last one being NC, so this is the state that was saved.

    I would recommend saving an address through the touch screen commands first and then trying the Voice system again.

    It looks like you must set your HOME address before the voice commands will use any other state other than DC as the default state. After setting the HOME location, then it stopped bringing up DC as the default when using the voice command.
    The voice command ignores your setting for default search region and always chooses DC for voice entry of addresses otherwise.
    I don't know why they don't have the voice entry and touch screen entry defaults talking to each other so they share the same defaults.
    Poor design.

    Setting the Home address makes sense. This is the first address that I set in the system.

    Poor design or just how the system works ?
