Hi Dean,
If you have the latest version of WFA, you can also use the number keys to
move to each tab quickly.
All the best

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.
