^^Glad to know it's not just me! I've used the POI function a few times and it can work pretty good depending on what I was looking for but for the most part, I wasn't impressed with it. On one occasion, it gave me a list of several possibilities, the closest of which was 800 miles away!!!! What's with that?? On another, I was simply searching for the nearest gas station in Little Rock, Arkansas and wound up on some dead end road where I found NO gas station, or anything else for that matter. Fortunately, I wasnt' that hard up for gas at the time.

They could definitely improve this part of the programming without too much effort.

Drive Safe,
