How to find Best Buy on the Nav System

For the life of me I can''t figure out what the correct options are to do a search for Bestbuy or circuit city. None of the options say like appliances or general stores or anywhere close to that.

Never bothered with a search by business other than restaraunts with the MINI Nav, first from what I could find there were few businesses in there that I would actually want to go to, and second since company's open and close and move all the time the accuracy of those listings is dubious at best...

I found that the MINI Nav was best for directing you to an address that you inputted or to most MINI dealerships, all other functions were so time dependent that I never really bothered with them...

Ditto that - I usually look up the business in the Honda's nav, then input the destination into the MINI's nav.

Like you, I've been unable to find decent business listings. . .THAT is the one function of the MINI nav I do NOT like. . .

Sigh

Wish they would add a firmware update so we could at least search by phone #. The only things I can easily check for are parks, gas stations, mini dealership and a place to eat.
