I have all the POIs I would expect with WFA. They sorted that out just
before the last upgrade of the software itself.
I still have to go on the mobile internet to find a postcode for somewhere
if WFA doesn't have it and most of the time when I have done that, WFA had
it all the time but, under a slightly different name than the one I typed
in.
I'm not even going to go into the advantages of WFA for me here again as it
has all been done before but, they are significant and make the software an
all round winner for me. the last

Hi
I have noticed no difference betweeen POI sets of WFA and WFN. It makes no
sense to provide those extra POIs to only for a very limited group of
users.
At least here where i live i still find the very same gas stations and one
museum with both WFA or WFN.
On the other hand Nokia Maps will provide many times more POIs around
within same radius. Even Trekker Breeze had more POIs than WF products here.

your missing here is that the maps in WFA are far more comprehensive and the
POI database has over 20 million points of interest rather than the paltry 3
or so million included with navigator. Its not so much the application that
your paying for although integration with talks and mobile speaks obviously
comes at a cost, its mainly the more extensive mapping data, not to mention
that you get a lifetime subscription. From time to time, Talknav have
excellent offers on, so its worth contacting them or frequently checking
their website to see if there is any special promotion you could take
advantage of.

> Hi. You can always try the Wayfinder Navigator application which is far
cheeper than Wayfinder Access. The map will tell you where you are. Talks
will read map info and the guide info when navigating. Talks will also read
the name of the next turning but you will need to see which way the
direction is pointing. The icons are quite large so there isn't a problem
there either. If you can't see then switch the female voice on which gives
you turn by turn instruction and you'll overcome that obstical. I have used
the Maps when out and about and Talks will tell me what road I'm on and if
there is a road either side of me I press the right and left arrow to find
out the name of that road. Not a bad application for £34. Wayfinder Access
is a much more detailed app as you are told of POIs around you and what
crossing is around you and what crossing you are approaching. You don't have
to be in a navigation mode to use these features. I just don't see the point
of paying 8 times more for that piece of info. I can use Loadstone for that
and that is for free. With Loadstone you would need to enter all your points
of interest and there is no internet connection involved. You just rely on
GPS.
