All other contacts were ignored, including local ones with addresses that the program could use from the Find menu. I sent an inquiry to tech support and they told me that the import function only works with addresses that OCN6 could parse. In order to ensure this, I found that it was necessary to make the following changes to the addresses of my contacts:
[*]Eliminate full street types, i.e. replace Drive with Dr;[*]And Dr. won't work... no period allowed;[*]Symbols like # for apartment or unit numbers are invalid;[*]Street directions must be, for example, S instead of South, again with no period;[*]Numeric street names must be like 10 St... 10th St is invalid.
I finally got frustrated with having to butcher all of the addresses in my contacts list, so I decided to pass on OCN6's contact functionality. The bottom line is, if you frequently use your Contacts list to set destinations, you may want to check to see that this works to your satisfaction before purchasing OCN6.

Are you saying that this Nav software can not read the contacts database and you need to import the data into the program to make use of it!?!
I have experience with only two Nav programs (iGuidance and CoPilot) and I just thought that that feature would be standard!
