Points of interest 

Points of Interest, called POI for short, are useful addresses that are 

catalogued according to particular criteria. 

POIs include ports, airports, restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, public 

buildings, doctor's surgeries, hospitals, shopping centres, etc. 

Points of interest can be displayed on the map by means of a symbol. 

In the N

AVIGATION

 window tap on Options > Settings > Map Display > 

Categories Shown in order to select the categories you want to appear 

on the map. 

Note: If you have created your own POIs, they will be available under 

the MyPOIs category. For more details about creating your own POIs 

refer to chapter "MyPOIs" on page 66. 

POI nearby 

POIs nearby are POIs located within a certain radius of your current 

location. This means you can always find the nearest petrol station for 

example, no matter where you are. 

Note: GPS reception must be good enough for determining your 

position. Check the 

 (GPS Ready) symbol to see whether GPS 

reception is good enough. 

If GPS reception is not good enough, the system will look for POIs near 

the last known position. If there is no last known position, the POI 

Nearby function will not be available. 

For more details refer to the chapter "Initialising the GPS receiver" on 

page 22. 

Note: The direct access function offers 3 categories of nearby POIs 

which can be searched for quickly and without additional entry. 

For more details refer to the chapter "Direct access to POI" on page 30.
