For instance, Katsuris nearby, Dixon's 800 feet!

So how far does the system say this pois is vs what you think it
should be as far as distance?
Thanks

Hi Charles

I think somehow these must be rogue Poi readings as the Long/Lat
readings don't make sense to me? Perhaps I should just delete
them?
I include just one, but there are hap a dozen showing up in my
nearby vicinity when I look...

Rivermeade Front Door latitude: 53 degrees, 40 minutes, 38.9820
seconds north.  longitude: 2 degrees, 19 minutes, 5.2980 seconds
west.,katsuris (a delikatessen shop in Bury)53.6774683 north
(latitude)
com2.3181633 west (longitude)

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.
