Hi: - When using the N1000 with wayfinder access is there any way to adjust
the reciever's viewing distance.  I'm finding that the reciever is reaching
to far out and is reporting streets several streets over instead of the
actual streets being driven past.  For example: here in the DC metro area if
I'm travelling down Rt. #270 (running parallell to Rt. #270 is Rt. #355,
however, the street itself is several blocks over), so I'm on Rt. #270, the
N1000 reads pois and cross street on Rt. #355, instead of what I'm actually
passing on Rt. #270.  Oh yes, and just a little trivia for everyone, Rt.
#355 is a road that travels through Montgomery County from the district to
the frederick county line; going north to south, and although it's the same
road, it name changes four (4) times depending on the portion of road you
are on.  The four different names starting at the district line are: (1.)
wisconsin avenue, (2.) rockville pike, (3.) hungerford drive, (4.) frederick
road.  So if there are any hints, tips, or tricks to narrow its scope of
view, that would be smashing. Thanks.

The receiver would perform the same no matter which PDA you used it 
with. It is pretty darn sensitive.

I would remind users that the number of satellites isn't the final 
word on the accuracy. If you are getting satellites inside or in an 
urban canyon situation, the number of satellites might be high but 
the quality of signal will be degraded. Always doublecheck the 
information if accuracy matters.
