Well, as long as NearBy explorer can find Dante's Inferno, then that's all the GPS user needs, right?
All joking aside, yes, when I listened to the audio demonstration, I noticed that 30 mile limitation, and I said to myself, "no, that's just an omission on the demonstrator's part, that can't be!" I was also troubled by the number of shops identified which in reality simply didn't exist. For purposes of full disclosure, I've not read the manual nor had time to install the app for my own testing, so I'm only going by someone else's information, though I know the perils of such knowledge acquisition.

I tried searching for the city as you suggested but no luck. If yiu can't search for locations further than 30 miles away, I consider that a serious short coming of the app. I guess we're only supposed to use it on nearby locations as the name implies.

So it could be that it can't search farther away than that. Perhaps try searching for the city, then set that as your virtual location, if that works, then you could search for a place and add it as a favorite. Good luck.

As I understand Nearby Explorer, in order to simulate a location in virtual mode, it has to be available in your app favorites or come up as a location following a search. I'm trying to place a location in virtual mode to which I'll be traveling later that is several hundred miles away from my current location. The Nearby Explorer search results appear to be limited to locations a maximum of 30 miles away. They also don't seem to interact with locations already saved in one's contacts as searches using Blindsquare do. Can someone please advise me how to access a location from within Nearby Explorer that is located in a distant city so I can add it to my NE favorites? Thanks in advance for your help.
