I agree. It would be so much better to pick a location on GCM or Apple Maps and send it to the Edge as a waypoint for navigation. Would be so much easier than the clunky Edge interface and it's incomplete POI database and lack of a contact list. The phone will always be a better place to pick the destination.
Try the Sendpoints CIQ App. Search for the place you need, generate the code. Enter the code on the App on the edge, which retrieves the location from the Sendpoints server & stores it on your Edge... Select the Saved Location on the edge & navigate...Simples
No offense but the Sendpoints route seems a little convoluted.
I did think that the Connect IQ app Yelp, would solve this in a less convoluted fashion. However, everything I look up on yelp, when I click on the results to route it there I get a 400 error.
1) open the ConnectIQ app
2) Click on bike shop
3) It displays the closest LBS then I click on one hoping to use my 1030 to route me there
4) The results are 400 and I have no other options, basically it's a dead end
Thoughts?
