And, once you learn it, you'll find that this happens in many other "search" engines, whether the web or even on a GARMIN gps!

So, when you search for a "name", you'll be presented with matches. BUT, you'll notice that there can sometimes be MULTIPLE matches that fall into different CATEGORIES!! THIS IS THE TRICK!!! YOU GOTTA SELECT THE LINE ITEM THAT FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY YOU WANT. In THIS case, you need to make sure you select the name of the park IN THE PARKS CATEGORY, not the POINTS OF INTEREST!!

I've snapped 2 screenshots to illustrate the difference. Simple mistake, but all the difference!!

Ha! How many years have I been using this program? I never recognized that nuance.
