Thanks makes good sense.
If one has the Sendero GPS, you could also download the international and
Europe POIs. Then, set the lat/lon I gave as your virtual position and search
for nearby points. At least the main cities should show up.
We do have maps here in Denmark but I have to say the street names are not
something I can pronounce most of the time. It is nice to have Braille as the
English synthesizer destroys the Danish street names and POI names.
We have some new European POIs we are testing so this is great news for our
Europe and UK users. Stay tuned about that.
