Can I find POI using a general searcher as Google for example or you only can find POI by categories?

The GLO provides gps services that any app (using location services) can use. I have used it with Navigon, Gaia gps, google maps, pocket earth, and Geosphere.

I'm also looking to a GPS that will let me locate precise locations of cemeteries. Did any one answer your question.

Interesting, as I was thinking of purchasing. Is there an option to add POI's as in some other systems?

The Magellan Roadmate 1470 does contain a subcatagory POI for Indian restaurants. It also has subcategories that are quite detailed. For asian it has Filipino, Indian, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamise.

An alternative is to use Copernic file search software http://www.copernic.com. The home version is FREE. The corporate version is less than $100 for 1st copy. It indexes all files, including their contents. Just type in what you're looking for & it gives you a list of the files that match your search. Click on the file(s) that looks correct and it opens the file for review. I like this option versus the manual indexing required by most document management software pkgs.

Yes you can. How to do this depends of a few things but the methods have already been explained and you can find them with a simple search on the net.

Hi I wish I had a answer for you I am not satified with the maps or the POI's. I live in New England and the maps are ok but the POI' stink I have a sked Simplesoft many times how to update the maps and POI's.. If you find out what other maps we can use please let me know. My garman is far better....

Absolutely. In fact, that is pretty much what you are paying for. You can enter coordinates in any of several different formats, and the device will lead you in a straight line to that location. But be advised, you will have to pay extra to download that pretty map they show in the picture.

With this unit you can mark your waypoints as you travel, so you can return to your starting place using the way points you entered earlier. You could also enter know waypoints from a map such as google earth. A built in topo. map is not part of this unit.

Using "manage POI", select first the major category, such as "pharmacy" and you'll notice at the lower left it will say either "show" or "hide". If it says "hide", it's already enabled to show up. If it says, "show", press the "show" button once and it is added to the displayed list. You can go through the entire POI database enabling/disabling the POI's shown and once you return to the map, it will update the list. So, no, you are not limited to just gas stations!

It has a function to search channels, and once they are found, you can use rather the remote control or the TV buttons to navigate them.Depends where you are locate or the service you have hired it will be the amount of channels you will have. all the channels will be found are going to be digital. In my country - Costa Rica - I get 4 which are digital. There channels analogs are not shown at all.

You can preload maps to the device over Wi-Fi for offline use. The GPS is satellite-based and not dependent on internet access; it will accurately display your position on the previously-downloaded map even when you're offline. Using the stock Google Maps app included with the Note, you will NOT be able to perform location searches (for restaurants, hotels, etc.), get specific directions, or download additional maps while offline.

Not that I have found... It uses the pre-installed worlds maps which are similar to Google's...The best one to use is the Summit Series TOPO for your region, which you download after receiving the unit...I really like the rugged feel and accuracy with this unit... and as with most, carry extra batteries, although the life is better than some... updated fix is available for the traking in suspend mode problem, and mine tracks fine when suspended now...Hope this helps...

Just put in the search bar what you are looking for, and usually it just pops up.

No, GPS systems show only the location of the receiver - they don't "track" people or objects. What you're asking about is called a "PLB" or Personal Locator Beacon, such as this http://www.amazon.com/ACR-Terrafix-406-Gps-Rebate/dp/B001JQ0C20/ or http://www.amazon.com/McMurdo-82-826-004A-Fastfind-Personal-Locator/dp/B000EFAT98/. However, these devices require activation by the user, so they still don't function exactly like you're asking. Now then, "Lojack" does make a product for tracking "at risk" people, such as Alzheimer's patients: http://www.locatorsystemscorp.com/ , but I'm going to assume your brother isn't in that category.

yes but the maps are very general area. you need to mark a location as home to backtrack to it. it in not a substitute for a map as it is too general area.
