hi steve, you say browsing your locale is a snap. i was under the impression
what you couldn't do using talks with wayfinder was literally explore a
particular area. by this i mean you had to have a specific start and end
point. for example, i couldn't go out of my front door and just wonder
around my area learning road names and layout etc. i'd have to put in a
specific road/address before leaving home. erm! hope i'm making sense here!
smile. ok just thought of a better example of what i'm asking.
on saturday, my wife and i fly to miami. a city neither of us have ever been
too. neither of us have much sight. as i understand it, wayfinder/talks
would not be any use to us to learn the area, unless we had specific
journeys in mind? ok i'll stop rambling now! smile.

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?
