I sure don't see POIs from the categories like beauty shops, physical therepists and the like in Access. They also don't use the public domaine points of which we have a couple million.

Mike,
The newer versions of Wayfinder, from 2.0 onward I believe, appear to use all of the expanded POI's found in the newer Sendero products. I know the older versions didn't do this. The only problem which appears is that not all of these expanded POI's show in the places nearby view. 

Hope this helps.

Trekker uses maps and points of interest from Navteq. They have about one tenth the number of POIs on the Sendero products. Wayfinder uses the same maps as the Sendero products but they don't license as many points of interest.
We have links to all the GPS products along with reviews at http://www.AccessibleGPS.com
Once I have a chance to go over the details more of Mike's review, we would like to post it there as well.

I have never used trecker, although this runs on a PDA, so it's not
going to be nearly as portable as mobile geo or Way Finder Access,
which run on cell phones. I don't know what maps Trecker uses, but
Mobile Geo and Way Finder Access use maps from Tele Atlas, and I
believe the maps on Way Finder Access are newer, though Mobile Geo's
maps are supposed to be updated in the future. You may want to go to www.humanware.com for more info on trecker.
