You can also get a Free 14 day demo for iG 4.0. (It will cost you around $5 for shipping). If you decide you like it, you can purchase the license on line, and not have to pay another shipping charge, and you will be able to activate it immediately.

This is possible, but not that reliable. If I search for a "Target" store, I get a list, and the first one in the list is like 38 miles away, when there is ons just a little over a mile from my house. When you know the area, this isnt so bad, as you can recognise some of the streets, and nav to that one. In an unfamiliar area, it is hit and miss at best.

I explained this to iGuidance, and this was their reply:

Hi John:
Currently, you only have choice of either searching by name (in alphabetical order) or by distance (in order of closest distance). It's our goal to add a 3rd option to enable users to search by name + closest distance combined. However, it didn't get on our project schedule for this year's map upgrade, and we hope to have that for next year's release.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

This means it will not be available for at least another year or so
