I think it would be neat to have the nearest POI on the location screen and if clicked it could show you your nearby POIs.

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.

As for finding nearest POIs just press enter without a search term and it will find the nearest ones to you. Thanks.

I could be missing something here, but either I am missing something or the app is missing a few major features. On the location screen, the street you are on was automatically spoken, but, when walking down a street the nearby distance was not automatically spoken as it decreased. I could read this information by finding it on the screen, but I should not have to do this. I could shake the phone to refresh the screen, but then the entire screen is spoken which is too much speech at once. Also, when selecting the POI button, I could do a search, but is there a way to just list the POIs I am close to? Also, while walking, the app never announced what POIs I was close to, does the look around wand need to be enabled for that to work? I would say the app is off to a good start, but work on it definitely needs to continue.To change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode): http://senderogroup.com/social_media/email.htm Additionally, to unsubscribe send an email to gps-talkusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject.
