Have anyone figured out how to enter names in address book?
I can enter names when sending addresses from google maps, but what if I entered address in Leaf?
It only shows street name in address book and history, and I can't seem to find where you can enter the NAME for the location...
Funny thing is, in owners manual I can see sample pictures like "Gannys house" but I can't find where it tells how to enter it...
 
In the screens where you use the Addresses, but you cannot Edit.
Use Destinations under the Menu button.

There are other similar screens for maintaining the Address Book,
where they can be edited.
Use Settings, Navigation, under the Zero button.

I agree. It's tedious to enter the address first, store it, and then go Edit it to fix the name. Ah well.

ALSO, be sure you put the Address itself in the Google Map->Carwings transmission, otherwise you have no record of the street address. You have the Name and map location only, which is approximate.

Well, maybe I missed it also, I did not see a "name" field separate from the field that contains the address. It seemed that the address IS the name. What did I miss?

You need to store the address (can't enter name at this point) then go back into address book and edit the entry, then you can enter a different name...
Weird UI design...
