Hi Kathy,
As you found out you are not really in a list once you do a POI
search, it has been asked to instead of bringing you back to the main
program to put you in a list so you can quickly get to pois by first
letter etc, we will consider that in future revisions.
Currently you can't do this so the best option would be to narrow
down your search by typing in the first letter of the POI you wish to
search for when being prompted for the POI search string and this
will return just those POIs starting with that letter.
Hope that helps
Charles.

Mike, is there a faster way to go through all the results when you
choose the "All" category for a poi search?
If there are, say, 300 poi's to search through, that can be
extremely tedious. I once tried typing the first letter of the
place I was looking for, but received a response of a GPS
command. I know you can do a first letter in the list of
categories, r for recreation for example, and it takes you to the r category.
A faster search through the list of poi's would certainly be very
helpful, especially if you're in a moving car looking for a place.
Thanks.
Kathy

John,
If the super Market is categorized, it would probably be under the
Shop(food) category. I usually find it best when doing a search to
use the All category to generate the most matches. The sub category
helps identify what something is if it isn't obvious. The sub
category isn't the best way to search.
