TomTom5 POI Searching

Hi

Since upgrading from TT3 to TT5 I have noticed that whereas before I used to be able to search an entire POI category for matching text, now TT5 only shows POI that are within a 50mile radius. Does anyone know how to change this so that a larger area can be specified for searching?

If you click on navigate to, then poi, it will give you a list of the closest poi's available. If you then click on the bottom left corner (keyboard) and type in the area you want (I used Blackpool as an example as it is 160 miles away), it should give you a list of those.

That's what TT3 used to do but TT5 does not appear to do this - for example searching the Hospital POI will only show hospitals in a 50 mile (approx) radius from the current position. What POI were you using? Maybe it's a setting for individual POI's.

I used the petrol station POI which worked. I have also tried the Hospital POI and this worked as well. Again I typed in Blackpool and it came up as Blackpool Victoria Hospital (168miles away).
