Sygic MM10 POI distance wrong

[hulio]

Is just mine or has anyone else noticed.

When i look for poi's and it tells me the distance at the side, it is wrong by quite a lot. e.g when looking for closest mcdonalds it says in the list 2.1 miles, if i then selct to navigate to it it then corrects the distance to 3.5 miles which is right. Its the same for all my favorites too.

Its because when you first look at any POI the GPS will show you the distance as the CROW FLIES (straight LINE)
it is then only when you click to navigate to the poi that the GPS then calculates that distance VIA roads
There is nothing wrong with the POI files or maps etc. or your GPS
it is just the way it is with any GPS unit, map, or POI file

Use the POI convertor in the thread

When you upgrade the software - you have to update the upi.file too

Now convert it and try out again

Thanks for the help, tried the convertor but made no difference. It isn't just the favorites, its all the poi's (are these built into the map?). If i search poi near my position then any category, the list that comes up with names and distance is all wrong. If a poi says 30 miles in the list, and i then select to route me, it then corrects the distance once it has calculated the route and will change to 50 miles.

The map is 2009.08, although I have tried an old map (2009.03) and had the same prob. The old one worked ok on MM9.

Unit is HTC Magic (Android).

Gonna try an earlier MM10 version and see how that goes.

Thanks again.

Maybe you must alter the map release date in the mlm file to coordinate with the maps.
Simply copying the mlm file use isn't appropriate.
