It would appear that your nav is far different. Mine uses the TomTom core 
and data. In my 2018 3.6 Touring the address is entered just as you wrote 
it. When I enter the 2930 etc... address it pops up as a choice and allows 
me to navigate to it (~9 hours from my location) so it clearly understands. 
Does your nav require entry in a different format than "as given". Oh, BTW, 
it also pops up an address of 42W999 Campton etc... as an alternative. 
Oddly the two addresses matched show different ZIP codes of 60175 and 60119.

OH, I did another lookup online and found "The official US Postal Service 
name for 60119 is ELBURN, Illinois." Does this mean anything to you?
