I can get home by navigating to my nearest city, from there I Know my way home 
The sad thing is all the other databases know my home, all I have to do is type in the address. The garmin wont allow me to type in the address because half way through it decides to give me a choice of three wrong options. Using the correct way point for here will be translated to a house seven miles away the other side of my nearest city.
On playing with it today, and it also does not seem to know of the existence of the city of St Jean pied de port. It does know about a village near it though.. I really need to keep my old Michelin maps in order to find places near to where I want to go that garmin knows about.
I am not trying to test it to its limits, just want to be able to use the HOME feature, and was trying to plan a trip into the Spanish pyrenees which will take me through St Jean on to Auritz in Spain and then along the foothills. This is a really nice ride I have planned for May. I may yet buy some real maps, not sure what I can use the garmin for.. maybe a paperweight?
Update.. It also can't find several small towns which are marked on my michelin maps. It can't even find Pussy, so how useless is that?
