After selecting "Find" and "Cities" on an etrex I get a choice of "Find 
By Name", "Nearest Containing", "Select Map" and "Change Reference". 
"Select Map" allows the choice of OSM's map (called "map") or the 
built-in one (listed as "RecreationaRoutable Highw") or "Use Best Maps" 
(which seems to cause Find by Name to search one and Nearest Containing 
the other).

The etrex doesn't have a "Find by Name" option against these, only 
"Nearest Containing", and it only searches the OSM map.

I guess if the Edge doesn't have a way to select the map or search for 
"Nearest Containing" you're a bit stuck...
