Hotel GPS location?

[spotts]

Hey Ken or Shaun, when I reserved my room, the receptionist said another hotel name. I axed "Is this the Lodge inn and suites???" She said "Formerly known as". So I dont wanna f up. Whats the name and address for this hotel so I can program my gps?

Question 2. How late do they sell beer in Buffalo? It'll be midnight thirty plus by time we leave the airport. Can I just pop back across to get more beer if I want to?

That was info I got at my house I believe, while fryin "Oysters" with Ken. Beer is waaay spensive in Canada so get a trunk load in Buffalo before we cross the border. This aint our first rodeo Craig......

First thing it asks me is type in state or province.

Typed Ontario. No matches found. Typed Ontario Canada. No matches found. Tried to type in Canada, it goes to California. If I just type a letter b it goes right to brittish columbia......

Searched Hotels near Niagara Falls Ontario, find nothing, no ferry st. Click on found hotels, and they're all in NY.

steve aka homo had same issue, he just called i walked him thru it, and IMAGINE his GPS found Canada

[spotts]

I dont have your cell phone any more, gonna need that. Steve has a Tom Tom tho, my pos is a garmin. Funny thing is it asks "Type in State or Province" but wont find Ontario. I can type in Brittish Columbia and it finds that, not sask. tho..... I'm gonna throw it outa the plane window.

I think you need to type in "Niagara Falls, Ontario"

on the other hand your NUVI may not have Canadian streets installed
