Hi Doug, I asked Mike May to comment on your original post pertaining to this thread and he forwarded the following reply: Hello Doug, Well, your ranting was heard to NZ and Dean has called me in to respond. I don't monitor this list but one of us from Sendero Group will in the future. There is little difference between Virtual and GPS modes in terms of creating routes. The difference is that in virtual mode, you the user establish your starting position. Regarding address matches: As we describe in the manual, there are several items to try if your city, or street name does not come up on the first try. Admittedly, this could be made simpler and we hope to address this in the future so to speak. However, I dare to say that 95% of addresses can be pulled up or something pretty close. You will have more success if you spend some time with the address matching part of the manual. For Sendero Group customers, we will research a troublesome address and make some suggestions. I had perfect matches when entering Clayton as the city and Linchmere as the street name. Perhaps you put in a space or extra character. It worked fine for me. Near your old address, 4357, I found the following points within one mile, Meadowbrook Golf Course, Bob Evans restaurant, and Old Country Buffet. From 1 to 2 miles, I got 38 points. Take heart, most addresses can be pulled up with a little persistence and if yours isn't in the database, please don't take it personally. I recommend contacting tech support since these situations are specific to each user and not a general problem. Regarding finding points of interest: What you describe tells me that your POI folder is not designated properly. If you don't find any points nearby, go to the GPS Options menu and set the POI folder to the folder that contains your points. Normally, this would be the POI folder on the Storage card or compact flash card. All 50 states and then some should have a state POI folder in there like OH.bpi. FYI, there should be a folder called Maps which has 5 files in it for each state. Make sure that is set up correctly too. Hope this helps.
