<div dir="ltr">Yes, I already knew that, but thanks. I thought there might be a way to be more restrictive but I now think it's just that the All POIs search is just what it says it is: it displays *ALL* POIs. It's doing exactly what I told it to do. I sometimes use that option when I'm on a trip somewhere and looking for a POI and don't know which category to pick at the top level search. Having a list of nearby POIs often helps but one has to scroll through a lot of extra stuff to find anything useful. That's what I was trying to avoid and that's why I asked the question.<div><br></div><div>I'm resolved now. Thanks to all.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 4:28 PM, Andrzej Popowski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:popej@poczta.onet.pl" target="_blank">popej@poczta.onet.pl</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Dave,<br>
<br>
when you search for all POIs, then GPS look for all POI that are near your current position. It doesn't use index for that kind of search, so you can't exclude POIs selectively. You would have to remove them form map.<br>
<br>
You can try to search for a category of POIs or search by name to get only a selection of POIs.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
