Hello Dennis,
This does not make any sense, a POI over 10 miles away should not be showing up 800 feet away. Are you in the right mode GPS vs Virtual? If you are in GPS are you sure you have a GPS position fix? If you are sure your position is correct then please provide use with a Lat/Lon of your current position and the POI's Location either its lat/lon or its 3rd party ID and we can verify whats going on.

Thanks
Charles.

Hello Charles et al

A strange sort of anomaly I notice with Pois. Using Sendero GPS ver 5.0. When I am at my GPS position outside my house, or in virtual mode at the same location, when looking around for Pois in the vicinity with f then space dot 4, I see many of the shops in the Bury shopping mal (about 10 miles away) as showing up at 800 feet or similar. The latitude/longitudes of the Pois are correct, that is they are not showing up as the same as my house.
Nothing to cry over but a bit strange...

Dennis.
