Having the 1 and the area code should not cause a problem. Every phone switch, cellular as well, I've seen will happily accept a local number in it's 10 digit format.
This is dependent on the type of provider you are with:All of the POI's are listed with (+1-XXX-XXX-XXXX)?
I want to be able to click and call, but the connection cannot be made as it is considered long distance, because it dials "1".

This is dependent on the type of provider you are with:
GSM providers will not process the +1 as long distance or international unless you are outside your local calling area. (the '+' represents the international dialing prefix), since GSM is an international standard, GSM provides automatically add +1-NPA-NXX... (ie +1-902-245-2432).
CDMA providers have been known to cause problems with this, as they attempt to call an invalid number.

Unfortunately, I believe the TomTom software automatically puts the international dialing prefix (as your carrier would not put it in since it doesn't use it).Hey Phil,
Thanks for the note. You are right, I am on CDMA. Actually, I noticed that you are a Rogers Tech guy!! So I am with Bell in Toronto. Is there any way that I can remedy this without switching to GSM?
