It is already an RFE, unfortunately it is not simple to impliment with the
ComOS as it is.

With the current ComOS and 4Megs of RAM on a PM it will handle 350 locations,
we have one in the lab with 500. However, there may be a slight performance
hit (it has to search 350 entries) - we haven't done testing to determine
exactly how many entries you need before it starts to impact. At 500 it
is noticable but not a problem.
