Setting to choose "Closest first" ?

I was in Gloucester MA earlier today and wanted to take a certain route home
and thought I'd use an Essex MA as a VIA point.
I know a restaurant on the route, so I chose
Where to
Points of Interest
NEAR --- Essex
and the 265T comes back with 3 screens of "Essex-s" before showing me the
one 6.5 miles away. ALL of the others were 1200 miles way, 1400 miles away
, etc. This happens all the time. Is there ANY way to have it list by "
distance from me" by default ? What possible parameters does it use to
display them in that order ?

You'll just have to live with it. Mine does the same thing. So it takes a
couple extra seconds to get to the one you want.....

For POIs, it does work like that. Those have that kind of location
information riding in on the TIGER data mentioned a few days back.


If you'd have picked "Search Massachusetts" instead of "Seach All", I
wonder which one you'd have gotten first, since you already were in MA,
knew that the Essex you were in was in MA, and had no intention of
travelling to Texas or wherever...
