Thanks, Don. Who would have guessed<grin>.
I tried Los Angeles. Didn't think of long beach. At least I don't remember
if I did.

Hi Paul,
Okay. Try this. Set your virtual position to long beach
california. You can pick a cross street or whatever to get
pinpointed.
Then do the advanced poi search with read f on the qt. SEt the
start distance to 0 and the ending distance to maybe 10 miles or a
little more. Search all categories and for the string put:
los angeles cruise ship trmnl
and see if you get it. I get it here and it shows as being in San
Pedro ca. Then if that isn't the exact one you want, you can set it
as your virtual position and you'll be in san pedro.
I set my virtual position to near 2300 mira mar ave long beach, long
beach-lakewood california.
It shows the terminal as being 8.85 miles sw of that location.
Try it and see what happens.
Don
