GPS doesn't recognize WL address?

Is this a common thing or is my GPS at fault? Are there alternate addresses?

Thanks!

I would use the Contemporary Resort if it works it you will see the sigin for the WL. If remember this right the WL should be at the seven sea's traffic light don't hold me to it.

Are your maps up to date on your GPS?

Yeah, I did an update On my wife's GPS last year and it now recognizes WDW addresses. It's a Garmin.

The other thing that you can do is to get the geographic coordinates of the place and plug those in, rather than the street address. This often works better when the spot is on a private road.

If you zoom in on a location with Google Earth it will tell you what the coordinates are.

Just follow the signs...easy to do. You will follow the signs to Magic Kingdom, stay to the right when going through the parking attendant booths, there will be signs telling you to stay right to go to the MK resorts. Wilderness Lodge will be a right-hand turn at the light.

Did you try searching for a hotel. On our GPS (Garmin Nuvi) we ask for a different location (Lake Buena Vista, FL) and then spell the name Disneys Wilderness Lodge. We have all the hotels at Disney programmed into our GPS by doing this.

My husband had to play around with ours for awhile last night to get all of our places loaded in. Like others said, try searching for hotels and under Lake Buena Vista, not Orlando.
It also wouldn't recognize the address for MCO.
We got it all straightened out though.

I have the same problem with Disney addresses on my iphone -- sometimes they'll work, sometimes not but like the other poster said, the Disney signs are pretty good even if they don't always have you go the most direct route.

You can ask for a printed map of the Disney area from the front desk once you check in or print it off their website if you want it in advance.
