Also, remember you can set a route to an address as well. So just because a POI isn't listed, it doesn't mean you still can't navigate there.

Malaina,

You are correct that for some reason when inputting the address for the
Double Tree Hotel, it is not able to find the hotel using a POI Find. I am
not really sure what is happening--it may be that the place is fairly recent
or it may jsut be missing from the map. The good thing with the Collective
User POIs is that when you visit the place, you can create a User POI,
submit it to be added and others visiting the Double Tree Hotel will have a
much easier time in finding it.

Thanks,

Kevin

Malaina,

When trying this address and hotel using Google Maps, the zip code
turns out to be 27403, which is the same reported zip code using the
Sendero GPS. It looks like this must be a fairly new hotel as I was
not able to find it when searching around the area. But, I think that
since Google and Sendero match up that going by address should get you
there.

Google Maps:

Double Tree Hotel
3030 High Point Rd
Greensboro, NC 27403

Thanks,

Kevin

i was wondering if anyone on the list is from north caronlina.  I am
having a hard time finding the double tree hotell in Greensboro.
According to the address i was given for the hotel the zip codes don't
seem to match up.  i am going there in a week and i was trying to find
it on the map.  The address is 3030 high point rd greensboro nc 27410
but when i typed it in the address the zip code it said i was inwas
27410.  i am just a tad confused as to why this would be unless it
might not be on the map.
