just search for "New York". I'm not really happy with the latest rev
of GE, at least as far as the tilt goes.

Thanks for your response but.....nope!! I tried that already....just
about every combination of spellings and abbreviations from New York
to NY to NY,NY to New York NY......

All return the "YOUR SEARCH RETURNED NO RESULTS" error message.

But, on the other hand, I type in wuxi, dalian, etc (and a couple of
other obscure places in China I found in an almanac) et voila...it
soars right to them!!

Furthermore, I noticed when I power up GE, it starts up centered on
China!

So that's what makes me think there is some setting somewhere that
selects a default location or region for searches. But I find no
reference to this in any documentation.

Either that or...as the other poster said (jokingly).....I have
somehow gotten a restricted version of GE that the Chinese gov't
intended for use by its citizens!

I'd be interested in knowing when other people fire it up, what is the
default starting location?
