Searching for POIs by phone number?


Recommended Posts

In the D3, I was able to search for POIs by phone number. I know it has the numbers b/c when I find a business POI, it'll display the number & offer to call it for me on my phone. I've looked & looked, but I don't see a way to search for a POI by phone number. :(

Its not avaialble in the F series. Instead when you find a POI, it will allow you to call it directly from the search screen. Keep in mind the D3 was 16 gig DVD based and the F series is 2 gig flash based. The phone number search option would have used to much valuable flash memory space to hold millions of numbers to be available.

Thanks for the answer, which basically is no. :( Technically, the unit already has all the info needed for a search function if it already has the phone number stored with the POI entry. I'm assuming it's a database that it's pulling from, and it shouldn't take up any more storage space to search from say, field number 3 than it takes to search from field number 1 and 2. Now, if you told me it would take too much memory to process the search, I'd believe your 2nd point. :) My 90bt is already freezing & rebooting on POI name searches. Perhaps they couldn't figure out how to work POI number searches without the same problem. Tho.. again, it would seem that would take up less processing memory because there would theoretically would only be 1 entry per search instead of however many a name search pulls up.
