This will probably end up sounding stupid .

Here's what I find annoying and run into hopefully someone knows the answer :

 

NAVIGATION : I go to find a place in the POI category , however I am in Zone 8 (MA/CT/NY/etc etc), if i type in the name of a place, like earlier today I was trying to find a place that fixes/sells watches... so i type in "WATCH" ... it gave me a whole list of places with the term watch in it. but some of them weren't even where I live ! I am in MA/RI Area and it was giving me stuff for NY and CT !

 

How can I set my nav so that POI screen only shows up what's around me...

 

I KNOW there is the "VICINITY SEARCH" but it doesnt allow me to type anything in, it just gives me the type of place - restaurant/gas etc.

 

anyone?

Do a POI search, but type in the city you want before 'watch'
