GPS search and navigation within a city or certain location

how to Locally search destinations in city using GPS? this was the question that was annoying me from few days since i purchased a GPS enabled android phone, the phone had a inbuilt nDrive GPS navigation application but there was no guide book along the phone nor there was any instructions on the software features and usage in the phone manual, though i was knowing it had a street to street navigation i was not knowing how to use it all these days what i was using it for city to city navigation purpose.

Recently i saw a video in youtube which explained me the most of the concepts and features of nDrive which cleared most of my doubts such as how to use POI(point of interests) then with this hint in the video i was able to know myself rest of the feature based upon it features such as:

1. POI name's and Nearby POI search.
2. Search options: city centre, street center, street number, street crossings and postal code search
3. Routing options such as Faster, shorter, pedestrian and adventure.
4. Calculate alternative routes when road blocks or other scenarios etc etc

see the sample video on how to use POI which is important for first time GPS users



I think its better to read this online manual (http://www.ndriveweb.com/manual/my-ndrive.html) before using GPS if you are a new to GPS. though most of time the User interface is intuitive it is always better to read the manuals to get the better understanding of the features and how to use the options, now i feel i better understood the features of GPS which would have not possible without the GPS manual
