Just kidding - basically, you can only search in groups. If you modified the groups on your Nav disc to include an "All" category that had the contents of every other group in it then you could search without sub-menus.

As for other service centers, why? Are you going to take it a Chevy dealer?

If you are looking for gas, etc, those are under Services...

d-

arent we supposed to get service at the chevy dealer?

so point me to the directions on how to do this compliation thing? I know search but uh jsut show me, better yet someone do it for me haha

Can you play with the disc format to reduce the segment size so as to hold more files?

Or create a flatter directory structure to provide more disc space...?

Yes, I do know that. However, trying to dump all 6 million POIs into one single top-level Search All POI category puts too much stress on the nav computer and makes searches slow. When I break them down into the six smaller sub-categories (as I have), then things work MUCH better. Searching is VERY fast (within mere seconds) as long as you keep the search radius down at 25 miles or less.

I haven't tried doing anything with the disc format or the directory structure in order to get more disc space. At this point I'm still shy about 250 MB and so I doubt that doing those things will make that much of a difference anyway. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Thanks OfficeMaven and CCFJ1 - I do know HTML, but had no idea our nav system was html based...

I guess I'll need to go explore the map data disc :)
