Available address in OSM fails in lookup

Hey, Downloaded the OSM of Russia including Moscow. I'm able to pin-point Moscow and it's streets, I'm able to find Moscow as city, But cannot find Moscow when looking up an address? Im using the GPSmap60CSx. Anyone knows what the problem might be? Thanks, Rudolf

There are very many different maps generated out of OSM data for Garmin devices, some support address lookup some don't (it is a feature that only recently has been reversed engineered). Unluckily the table http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download doesn't expicitly list the functionality so you will have to check with whoever produced the map you are using.
