Hi Dennis,
No we haven't forgotten about entering a zip/postal code for an
address lookup. Just adding that one feature will take months of development.
There are plans in the works to completely rewrite from scratch the
entire address lookup module of Sendero GPS. When we do this not
only should you be able to do zip code address lookups but also have
alpha numeric addresses, and partial street name searches.
But as I said this will be a major change and take a major amount of
time to complete and this is why it hasn't been done yet. There was
strategic reasons why we decided to address the POI module which I
won't get into here but I hope you all are now enjoying the power
this new POI search functionality has to offer. I don't know when
this will be addressed but you can be sure it is one if not the
highest priority items to address in future versions.
Thank you
Charles.

Hi.
When comparing GPS with other accessible products, one thing is
missing that is standard on most "sighted" navigation systems is the
ability to put in a zip or post code to search when setting a
destination etc. Any idea when this will be implement, and would be
interested to know why it hasn't already, that is, what problems
there are with the Sendero system that other systems have got round...
Thanks in advance.
