|
|
The search feature really needs work. It's very confusing to use, and does not seem to produce accurate reliable results most of the time for me.
Sometimes the same search will even produce different results at times.
and I often get results that are nowhere near my location.
I just put in a simple search for "Taco Bell" , which produced ZERO POI results, and only some Full addresses, and 2 Cities and Towns.
I know for a fact that I have searched for this when I first tried Telmap5, and it returned many POI's, yet when I search now, it returns nothing from the same location I am in also.
A good search feature is like 50% of a good GPS system. If you can't even find something, then it doesn't even matter if the GPS routing is good or not.
Please address the search feature in Version 5, as its not very good, very accurate, or user friendly in this Beta.
thanks!
PS: I also submitted this in the Telmap 5 Feedback form |

Hi j8ke2o,
I completely agree that Search is vital in any mobile navigation system.
We continue to work to make our search the best available.
We will go through the feedback forms you submitted and look at those.
THanks
