On your Garmin you either don't have the maps for that region installed (tools->settings->map->map info) or you need to search near a different place.
By default the Garmin searches near you. try doing this from the home screen:
where to-> search near (upper right corner) -> choose "a different city" -> type branson-> choose "address" and search for your address near branson
SOURCE: Yes, whats the difference between fast route &
This is real simple, fast route on all GPS,S including yours simply means fatest route by time to get there based on best roads and speed limits. Shortest route might be shorter in miles per say, but not always the fastest, because it will take you threw neighborhoods or back roads , school zones etc.... So, most the time you will and should use fastest route as it is best time, fuel economy and safest. Please if this has helped you, then respond with 4 thumbs up and a small positive testamony.

I had the same problem with mine and got it working by doing the following while on the phone to Garmin. Plug your charger cord into the device and your computer (do not use a laptop, you need the higher current from a desktop for this). Hold the power button down for as long as it takes for the Garmin logo to display, this could be as much as 1 minute. As soon as the image shows on the screen, release the power button. If your Garmin isn't completely shot you will see it boot up.
If you have the Garmin Web Updater program on your computer, run it and update the operating system software to insure you have the latest greatest from Garmin. Once that is done, update your XML data files - they'll be on the list of updates if you need them. Once those are done you can update any voice or language files you'd like.
Lastly, leave your GPS plugged in at least an hour or two to give it a charge. Overnight would be better to insure your battery is really well powered up.
At this point your Garmin should function normally. The Garmin tech I spoke with told me some units start acting funky when the battery runs down too low and if it's REALLY dead it won't even take a charge or power up when you hook up your charger cord. Try holding the power button for as long as it takes to get a spark & you should be on your way. If not, call Garmin's support number for your locale & they're do their best to get you back up & running again.
Cheers, Jeff

My nuvi 1450 couldn't find Cape Girardeau or Jackson, Missouri either. No answer yet from Garmin Support.
