Hi,

I have "Tesco" POI installed on my HP device (TT5). If I go into the POI for Tesco it only shows me stores in a 180 mile range (ish) of where I currently am. If I want to navigate to a store that is say 250 miles away it will not appear in the POI list until I'm about 180 miles away.

This is very frustrating as the stores are definately in the data base as they appear as I get closer.

Please help.

Rob.

I have no experience of your device and system, but could you perhaps "Find POI in a city"? then give it a city 200 miles away (in the right direction and area of course!!).

Mine is the same on TT Mobile 5, but, have you tried typing the name of the town where the branch is?

eg, if I select my Morrison's POI's, then it only shows me up to a distance of 56 miles, but, if I type in INVERN, then, it gives me the Inverness branch at a distance of 313 miles.

Hope this works for you
