Hi Dean, Get to your spot, go to Options, Manage, then Add new favourite. This will take your exact position and ask you for a description. Then it is saved to favourites. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dean Wilcox Sent: Sunday 6 July 2008 15:31 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: TREKKER BREEZE I'm assuming Ian uses the guide view. To the right of that, twice to the right I think, is the destination tab which should have the information. Unless someone wants to correct me I can't find a way to put in a poi in Access when I'm say stood at a bus stop where as Trekker lets you put the exact spot in the road into the Trekker, down to GPS accuracy allows anyway.
