A HUGE annoyance with the NAVI system
say you want to search for a chain, whether it be restaurant or a parts store...
is there a simpler way to search a destination?
all that SUPPLIER, ATM, RETAILER, crap.. All i want to do is look for my nearest KFC or BK.. and it'll give me a list of marketing or research divisions on the other end of the country.

The database listing is the biggest pain. That's why I rarely use it unless it is something very, very unqiue or if you are looking for anything within a category like an ATM or an Italian Rest.
Walmart can be Wal-Mart or Walmart or Wal mart or Walmart Superstores or any variation....the database is less than friendly I agree.

just wanted to say that KFC and BK were just examples...
i was actually looking for a Napa Auto parts nearby... after going through the longass list, never found the closest parts shop from our current point.
what's funny was that i was in a small argument at the time: my passenger was saying that a navigation system is never accurate and trustworthy, but i was saying that it was. i was searching for the parts shop along with a place to eat afterwards... didn't work out too well.. in fact, didn't work at all, for either one.
i know what everyone's about to say, and i'll say it too.. i was just unfortunate.. its happened to me a number of times.. someone saying that navi sucks and can't be THAT good. and just as i defend it, navi goes berserk; takes us in circles; and then someone steps up and says that there's a faster way to get back,, DOH
