phone #'s from navigation
can you get phone numbers from a POI that has been searched? the Voyager and several other phones and providers allow this...

No, for whatever reason [Infiniti] decided you cannot get info from a P.O.I. whether this was a safety feature or to hard to program, don't know. I usually just use my iPhone to get an address/phone number and dial or route from there. Kinda sucks we can't get phone numbers from our Nav.

kinda sucks a LOT. for what we paid for this nav, it leaves a lot desired. i can find a POI faster on my voyager, and it gives more info. i am sure the iphone is the same. hopefully they will have an update to it? prob not though

i have seen the option where you can put in a phone number, and it should find the address for you? anyone tried this?

Sadly, I've had to turn to using my GPS enabled blackberry and google maps at times.

i have an 8830, i think you mentioned in a prev post you have that model also? i assume that you can get phone numbers from that POI search? i dont really use the BB for anything other than the email.

Yeah, I just enter in an address or use the GPS to locate me and search on any POI, business name, etc. Brings up a quick menu where I can dial the phone to call or link to it's website. Also has info on the site, like reviews or sometimes even menu pages. Google maps is one of the most valuable apps to have on a 8830. Even if you're on GPS crippled network like Verizon.

I have phone numbers on mine too. Only checked it once though, we were going to some supermarket across town and it displayed the phone number and I could dial just by selecting it. The reason I remember this is because it was their fax number. Doh.

I use my ATT Tilt (8925) for my navigation, comes with a GPs chip and I added google maps on it along with a number of other mods. I'm not sure about getting the navigation package bc my phone does it so well plus it's touchscreen so it works well in one handed operation while driving...

OK this is how I do it..
1: Hit Dest. button
2: Point of interest.
3: By Name " Enter what ever poi you are looking for then hit list.
4: Asks you By Dist. or by Cat. I always hit by Dist. Then it lists the nearest point of interest that you entered.
5: Select the closest P.O.I
6: You will see a list of options on the left.. Select P.O.I info and voilą there is the phone number along with all the P.O.I info
