I was wondering if you have both the California and Nevada maps loaded?

Al,
Casinos may be listed under entertainment or bonus. The The 
Eldorado Hotel
Casino was actually listed under hotel/accomidation in this 
particular

situation.



I obtained the address using maps.google.com

Kevin,
Thanks for the information. I did not go that route initially 
due to not
knowing the El Dorado's address. So would casinos be listed 
under some
other category? I now am curious why casino was not listed as a 
category.

Regards,



Al Taitague

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.



Kevin

Subject: [gps-talkusers] A newbie with a problem finding a poi I 
know

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

A manual route is one where you program your own way points 
instead of
having the unit do this for you. I find this particularly useful 
when
working off street grids. The biggest advantage in my opinion is 
that
you can even program these routes where very little mapping has 
taken

place.
For example, I live in a park that simply shows up as Trails 
West, but
I have programmed many routes within the park by simply hitting R 
for
route, O for open and typing in the desired name. If the route 
does
not already exist the until will provide prompts in very much the 
same
way as for creating new word processing documents which haven't 
yet
been created. You can then use K with space if you have a 
braille
keyboard and follow the prompts to create your own way point. 
This is

great for

rural environments.
I have even used it to locate my tent in a crowded campground. 
Be sure
to hit r and C to close the route and it will ask if you want to 
save
it. You can also simply go back to the main menu and the unit 
will
provide prompts for saving the route. I hope this helps explain 
the

difference.

Hi, I think the idea of a monthly chat is good and I would be 
more
likely to do this. I have a hard time remembering about the 
weekly
because am so busy then. If there were a specific topic of 
interest
I could then schedule and make the effort. I have a question. 
What
is the manual route creation? How is that different from 
automatic.
I am still trying to figure this whole thing out. I have 
created

route by just putting rv for vehicle or pedestrian.  Still am
confused about some things, and am big braille user, and 
sometimes

learn

slower when by speech.  Thanks.

Karen and Harpo Also
