missing poi

[exportman]

Hi

I have set up a personal POI file with regular address I go to I use the same POI file on a TT rider 2 and a HP Travel companion

In the travel companion I can scroll through all the POIs (5 pages) but on the Rider I can only scroll 4 pages, however I can use the find button to find the missing ones.

Rider is GPS v 1.21 boot 5.5012 Maps V720.1803
HP is GPS 1.20 Maps V650.1136

Is this a software limitation or a problem with the file

It's not a software limitation as such because originally you COULD scroll through them all on a TomTom too (on v6 software I think).

I've no idea why TomTom changed it in later software versions, so now you only see the nearest 24 to whatever place you've chosen (near home, on route, near city etc.); but as you say, at least the "find" function still searches the entire list.

Semantics, my dear boy!

What I meant was that the software is CAPABLE of showing more than the 24 it does at the moment, but they DECIDED to restrict it like that.

Any thoughts I may have that they have done it to help disguise how few POIs some of their categories contain, is purely speculative!

Hi

Thanks at least I know its not a problem with the file now. I guess that's why there is a find function in the later versions that is not available in version 6

Not sure as this is an improvement but well as long as it works

Cheers
