Hi Mike, sorry if you thought I was trying to pry stuff out of you. I thought the WD40 would work and you wouldn't complain about prying! Smile! Anxiously awaiting the new version! Thanks, Jim

Jim,We try to update the maps about once a year. These are still Tele Atlas maps, just a lot newer. Both street map data and POIs have been updated.Now, I realize you are trying to pry an additional feature out of us today. The map data has increased from 7GB in version 4.22 to 10GB in the new version.Mike At 07:02 PM 10/14/2008, you wrote:I am curious about the new maps. Why did Sendero switch over to them? Are they more detailed? More accurate? Do they take up less, the same, or more storage space? Thanks for any details.

Sendero Group continues to make an excellent accessible GPS solutioneven better with each version put out. I think that these few features relating to POIs will be extremely useful. I will be able to rename many businesses, which have had their names changed or even change the address number or street name it sounds like or even delete those POIs that have gone out completely and haven't been replaced by anything. And, I see the powerful but yet flexible Advance POI Search work in so many differentways, some of which are to search for all Barbecue type Restaurants along a particular street or city and even list all of the available stores along a particular street. I think that the User Defineable POI Search will be great as I am constantley on BART and currently have to do an Advance POI Search, ENTER twice past the start and end distance, select Bus/Rail as the categoryand BART as the subcategory and ENTER for the string and in this time, I have to hope that we didn't past the station that I was trying to check. Now, it sounds like I could configure the system to search in a specific category and subcategory. So, it will be a one-time configuration and onekeystroke as oppose to eight. This is great! Keep up the great work SenderoGroup and hopefully this will be out soon.

There are four ways to find POIs. 1. nearby POIS, Press F this works as it always has. 2. simple find, Press SPACE with F or READ with F, you are only presented with the category sub category, and search string. 3. advanced find, this is the most powerful find Press BACKSPACE with F or CONTROL with F. You are presented witht the following: category, subcategory, starting distance If you don't enter a starting distance an ending distance is not offered. Search direction, you are presented with a list of 9 items, full circle, ahead, behind, left, right, north, south, east, and west. You can search for POI in a desired direction. Then you are prompted for the field type, you can search on name, city, phone number, street name etc. the field items are presented to you in a list. Once you select the field you are interested in searching, you are finally offered the search string. When you type in the search string and press enter the search executes with the peramitors defined. IE all shops ahead of you. Or all POIs along a certain street. 4. The final search is user defined. There is a hot key, BACKSPACE with Dot 3 or CONTROL with U, this will perform a search using the category and subcategory of your choice. By default the keystroke is defined to look at all user private POIs. Another note about POI searches, LookAround has a new item called POI search direction. This allows you to be notified of all POI in a desired direction, ahead of you, or a full circle around you. The choice is yours.
