So Steve, to check I understand you, this would mean that if, say I wanted to
find my way back to my hotel, I couldn't put that in as a point of interest, go
out for the evening and then use wayfinder to refind that point or confirm when
I was very near it at least.
If that is the case, clearly this limits its usefulness as a mobility aid
though clearly it is better than nothing.
Are there any alternatives to wayfinder that work well with TALKS that would be
better in this respect?
Cheers
Graham

Hi Graham,
This is actually incorrect. You can find out your nearest waypoints. The
only limitation is that you can't hear waypoints as you pass them. For
example, if I want my nearest MacDonalds, I can go into search, type in
MacDonalds, and then select "From GPS" as the search location, and Wayfinder
will go away and do the biz. I can also select from categories such as
Airports, Post Offices, Museums, etc, and just look at all of them, within any
radius you like. What I can't do though, is hear those Waypoints as I pass
them. But browsing your locale is a snap.
All the best

Hi all.
I am interested in getting GPS for my Nokia 6630.
I know that Talks works with Wayfinder but I understand that you can get
directions about a route with wayfinder but not just explore your area.
So, if I am staying in a hotel as I understand it, I can't find out what
points of interest are around me then find a route to them. If this is correct,
this is clearly a limitation so I have 2 questions.
1 is WayFinder likely to add the explore my area type feature to it's
capability and secondly, are systems like TomTom in its various guises likely
to be
accessible to phones running TALKS soon?
Regards
