Default Cayenne PCM Question

I have a 2005 Cayenne and I was trying to go through the list of POIs in the destinations (specifically the restaurant list). I was actually pretty excited about this, till I realized you could only go through the list with the scroll wheel. The restaurant list is HUGE, is there a way to page down or go to a segment of the list by letter?

Thanks!

The answer is NO. I know, pretty dumb for such an expensive truck! Makes the POI almost useless.

I agree touch screen would be much easier to use. The Japanese seem to have quite a lead over the Germans in telematics.

I found one trick regarding POI's in the Porsche PCM. The default selection is to request POI's within a city. As mentioned above this results in scrolling through an endless list of restaurants (then you get to the B's, then the C's, and on and on and on). But instead of searching an entire city you can select a search for POI's either nearby or near your destination. This reduces the list considerably.

Of course you may not always need to find a POI in the immediate area, or you may not always have your destination entered. So it's not perfect. But it does fit many situations so every little bit helps.
