Hi j8ke20,
Thanks for your feedback regarding the routing problem.

We would really like to investigate this - but in order to do so we really need to know exact details of your route and the location of your diagram.
If you could provide us with:
- Where you started
- What was the destination you were looking for
- Exact location including Street names in your diagram

I would pass this through the right department and try to either discover a bug or provide you with an explanation.
You might prefer to send these details by email to TUGAdmin_at_telmap_dot_com rather than providing them in the forum for public viewing.
THanks

Well, After being told I was a little harsh, I decided to pull down the latest build and give it another spin.

All in all, I hold to my original statements. The program lasted less than 12 hours on my Blackberry before being removed again.

I saw no improvements in any of the areas I had addressed as concerns for me. GPS lock time was MUCH slower, battery drain went up considerably, and the search was a little better... instead of pointing me to POI's 120 miles away, it pointed me to POI's 50 miles away, with the one I was seaching for 20 ft in front of me (I was standing in the CVS Pharmacy parking lot when searching for CVS Pharmacy).

Hello WolfmanRobby,

Thank you for your feedback. Your input regarding the slow GPS lock time will be examined. In addition, can you please specify the date and the location in which you performed the search for the CVS Pharmacy? you are welcome to send those details by mail to tugadmin at telmap dot com.

Best regards,
TUG admin

I'm not going to bother with the email as, honestly, unless you guys make some major improvements, I've lost all interest in this program.

Fix the problems, and I'll reconsider.

As for the CVS, I was standing in the parking lot of THIS CVS
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=34.29696,-83.825265&spn=0.001525,0.00284&t=h&z=19 (It's the building that map is centered on).

My GPS had a SOLID lock on the GPS signal, but, when I searched for the exact term "CVS Pharmacy" the closest one it would give me was over 50 miles away. There are dozens, if not a hundred CVS stores within that 50 mile radius including the one a few FEET from me.
