How do I enter a Portugal address into a Garmin Satnav?

How do I enter a Portugal address into a Garmin Satnav? - Crop ethnic female walking into open door of apartment with carton boxes with goods from delivery

The address is:

Encosta Cabo Girao Quinta Girao Empreendimentos Turisticos Lda. Estrada 1 de Julho nú 2 9300 - 081 CÀmara de Lobos Madeira, Portugal

When I enter the postcode that I assume is "9300 - 081", the Garmin then demands a road name but will not accept anythink that is in the address.



Best Answer

Using postcodes to reach specific fine-gained locations on a map works in some European countries (the UK for example) but does not work in most since the granularity varies considerably (in Italy postcodes identify neighborhoods, in France they identify municipalities, etc.). Hence your best bet is to enter the city and road. In your case:

  • City: Câmara de Lobos
  • Road: Estrada 1 de Julho
  • House Number: 2
