Hi all
This is a problem I have struggled with I do some camping from time to time and am unable to put camp sites in to my i3 as favourites. Sad

I enter a post code but cannot enter a house number. What I have tried to do is just enter any number then select find nearby I can then select the camp site from a POI. Smile

Unfortunately when I do this the option is not there to set this as a favourite. Confused

Is there something I am missing here Embarassed

or is it not possible. Crying or Very sad

If I try to set it directly by selecting find and then my camp site POI it only shows those that are local to my current or last known position. :x
Thanks for any help.

You should use "cities" initially instead of "address" and put in the nearest town to where you want to go. Then use "Find Nearby" and search for the POI's as normal, it will give you the 50 nearest to the town you have set.

If you do not have a house number to match the postcode you are searching for use zero. It will point you to the geographical centre of that postcode which is OK for most purposes.

once you are at the location, ie the entrance to the site press, and hold the scroll wheel.
this will then set the location in its memory and ask you if you wish to save as a fav.
select yes, make up a name for the location, and if ness even change the icon.

let me know how you get on Wink
