You have a street where * is the roundabout

No   1-100           102-150
--------------*--------------
      A              B

Now you'd like to navigate to Streetname Number 130 - You search for
the street and select segment A as it shows up multiple times. Then the
user types number 130 - but you accidentally selected segment A which
does not have number 130 - So how does the Nuevi and or GPSMap get into
a dialog with the user?

I'd expect the software to sort it out which side of the roundabout i
want to go to by me entering a housenumber which without knowing the
internal Garmin format would mean to aggregate the segment A and B to
a single street.
