Hi,
This should get you started.
It's taken directly from the audio tutorial.
"So now I'm going to do an advanced point of interest search and search for all
restaurants along Kenmore Avenue. So I'm going to press control with f or
backspace with f."
BN- "Select category, all."
"I'm going to hit r for restaurant and press enter."
BN- "Restaurant, chosen. Select subcategory. All."
"Press enter on all."
BN- "All, chosen. Enter starting distance for the POI search."
"Press enter."
BN- "Search direction? full circle."
"I happen to know the restaurant I'm looking for is east of my current position
so I'm going to hit e for east."
BN- "East. East chosen. Search field? Name."
"I'm going to hit s for street."
BN- "Street. Street chosen. Enter POI search string or press enter for
nearest points."
"I'm going to type in Kenmore and press enter."
