Hi Charles,
When looking for an apartment, house, or hotel, the feature was invaluable
to tell you everything in a two or three mile radius. It helped make
informed decisions about where to stay an/or live. I wonder if you would
consider putting a peared down version of the start and end for pedestrian
routes--maybe four or five miles and a vehicle search of 25 miles. That
might cut down on time outs and abuse. Is this possible?
Judy

Hi Richard,
Have you purchased the European map bundle from Sendero? Once you have you
then log into your account at www.gosendero.com and get your map license key
for both NorthAmerica and Europe then enter that new key under the Advance
Options (Register Maps and Product).
I believe we don't have maps for Montenegro no demand for that country.
To improve POI searches specify a category and if possible a subcategory.
Keeping the POI category at "All" dramatically slows down the search. For
example searching All for the "Statue of Liberty" will only search out a 1/4
mile or so before timing out and you have to expand the search, but
selecting "Travel/Transportation" and a sub category of "Monument or
Historic Site" will usually find it in a few seconds and could quickly
search out hundreds of miles.
Hope this helps.

Hi Charles:
I was the one that originated this question. I also had other questions
that I have not heard any response to. I will repeat them below as I am
having much trouble finding places at distances that I do not know.
1. What is the quickest way to find a POI that is at some unknown distance?
For example, I am in Santa Rosa, CA and I want to find a POI such as the
city of Kotor in Montenegro in Europe.
2. If one has the European maps and wants to find out what map contains the
city, but is unsure of the country, how does one do that? For example, I
wish to find the maps for Kotor which google says is in Montenegro, but the
country Montenegro does not show on the list of European countries.
In addition, when I use the location feature to find a place, it says the
only map it can see is California and wants to know what city I want in
California. How can I get it to recognize the map of Italy. My Apex says
that it is in the maps folder and when I start gps it says that there 6 maps
loaded.

Hello Judy,
Sendero took out the end distance because users were abusing this and
putting in too far of an end distance and the system would go away for
minutes/hours as it searched out that far and would probably crash as it ate
up more and more memory trying to find all the POIs which matched your
criteria to the end distance you provided. Now we search out until either
we find enough POIs which match or the system times out because it is taking
too long to find the POIs in question.
Thanks.

I am not complaining. The answer to your question is that if you can only
drive or walk a certain distance, it is good to have for example 0 to 4
miles. I am glad we can still search, but an ending milage gave just the
number of places which might be practical in certain situations.
Thanks for your response,
Judy

You can still specify a starting distance, you cannot specify an ending
distance. If you think about it, whats the point of specifying an ending
distance, set the starting distance and let it rip.
