[gps-talkusers] Re: A newbie with a problem finding a poi I know is there

Al, 

I would recommend performing an Address Lookup as it will take a fair amount
of time to do a POI Find using the all category for this distance. You would
want to press READ with S to Set an Address. 
State: Nevada 
City: Reno 
Address Number: 345 
Street Name: Virginia
Select, "Virginia St, N" 

You could then set this point as your destination and create a vehicular
route by pressing R for Route Commands followed by V for Vehicle Route.

I recently tried to create a route from my home(Fairfield, California) to
the El Dorado casino in Reno, Nevada.  I pressed read with f to do a poi
search.  Then I began my search 140 miles to start and 160 miles  as the
max, for Reno is about 150 miles away.  However, when I get to the category
section.  I do not find anything that even resembles a casino under the 
category list.    So I tried choosing all and typed in my search string: el 
dorado.  But I keep getting a no poi found response.  Am I doing something
wrong?  This casino is one of the more popular ones in Reno so I would think
it would be listed.  Any ideas?

Regards,

Al Taitague
