POI near to you

[pnb]

Has anyone else found this?
You are using TT to guide you to your destination and you need a break.
You use POI near to you to find a good pub and it provides a list from the POI catagory.

However it does not tell you which direction they are in, only the distance.
I am I the only one that finds this frustratiing?

And the distance it shows is 'as the crow flies', not driving distance.

However, select the first and 'details' and it'll show on the map and address. That should help somewhat...

If you have a Route set, try using Travel via .... and POI along route.

At least it would be going in the right direction.

Use Travel Via if you have Navigated To somewhere.

I use this all the time when planning a long journey, for numerous things like service stations on route, and forthcoming safety cameras.

My only comment would be i much prefered the version 6 method rather then 7, as 6 lists all the ones directly on route, then off route, version 7 lists everything by mile, but cuts the list after about 20 listed.

Thanks, I'll try some of your suggestions.

IF TT are listening, add a direction symbol calculated from the co=ordinates !

The Garmin Nuvi that I have gives directional arrows and distance which is very handy in situations where you want to know which are ahead or behind - It works very well - Mike
