I have created POI ov2 file using poiedit with 800 locations of sites I visit for work.
When I bring up this poi I can see maybe only 40-50 of my locations. I know in tt3 you could change the radius to show all your poi but I can't see how to do it in tt5.
I want to be able to see all 800 locations regardless of which is closest and navigate to it.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the only way I can think of finding the POI you want is by using Advanced planning and selecting 'POI in city' to give an appropriate list.

Having said that - I would have thought that trying to scroll through a list of 800 locations is impractical in itself, or that such a number could even cause the application to crash, or at least become very sluggish if it tried to process them.

Thanks for your help

It does work if you search for the location. the only problem is it does a weird search rather than search starting with the first letter.

e.g searching for Risley

I type R and get all locations with R even if R is the middle letter.

eg
Birmingham
Bridge Street
Risley

hope you understand that

Thanks

I know what you mean. When I put Risley in myself, 'Kingston Russell (Dorchester)' was also in the list, but as you put more letters in, the location you want should be nearer the top of the list.

I think its uses a Soundex search. If I remember correctly this works by dropping the vowels & double consonants, so Risley & Russell would come out to Rsl. As you say, the more letters you enter, the closer to the top your choice should be.
