Hi everyone. This discussion about what points of interest Way Finder
Access has got me curious, so I decided to conduct an experiment. I
did a search in Mobile Geo for the businesses around here, and did a
search in Way Finder Access for 9 different ones that do not show up
in the places near by view. Only one was not found, the other 8 of
them were complete with address and phone number. So, Access
definitely has most of the points of interest, but many of them do not
show in the places near by view. I would consider this to be a major
bug and hope the Way Finder folks will fix this. I kind of suspected
that was what was happening, but this confirms it.
