Ah ok, just a suggestion, you may want to do things the way nearby explorer
does, I'm not saying the sendero app should do everything the way another app
does, but it is a bit easier. The way it works is, the text field for a search
is available, but the nearest pois are also displayed on the same screen. Also,
it would be nice to see the closest point of interest on the location screen
since that's probably going to be the screen you will use when you are not
doing a search or following a root.
