Intersection Search Broken in Garmin Mobile PC?

I was trying to do a search in Mobile PC to check out a problem someone has described in Streets & Trips 2009 to see if it's a problem with Navteq's data rather than Streets & Trips. The problem is an intersection search in Calgary (38 Ave SW & 19 St SW). I was able to find the intersection easily in Mapsource with City Navigator NA 2009.

Then I figured I would try it in Mobile PC to see what results I got with the same maps. Ooops.... When I try to do an intersection search I select the province and city. Then it asks me to enter the street. But I can only enter one ... can't find any way to make it let me enter the cross street for the intersection. It searches as soon as I select the first street.

Am I doing something wrong or is it broken????

.............

Okay, just as a sanity check I tried it with Mobile XT on my Palm T|X, which has pretty much the same interface as Mobile PC. It works fine. I enter the first street, select from the offerings and then it asks me to enter the second street. It doesn't search until I've entered the second (cross) street. This is what I was expecting on Mobile PC but it doesn't seem to want to work that way.

Yes, the intersection search feature is broken in version 5.00.50 . I hope Garmin will fix it soon, as I use intersection search quite often. In all previous versions of Garmin Mobile PC this feature worked fine.
