I don't know anything about the Palm, but you enter addresses into the StreetPilot by using the thumbwheel to rotate through the alphabet. It's not ideal, but the unit eliminates letters that aren't used, so there are fewer and fewer ones to roll through as you move further into the street name, for example.
Does that make sense? You choose the first letter, then the second, and the machine keeps offering you only the choices that are actually used in the street names in its data bank, so you can't enter a made up word that has never been used to name a street, for example.
In practice, you get used to it pretty quickly, like sending text messages with a cell phone or thumbing a two-way pager.
