Points of Interest, called POIs 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.

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 76.

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 30.

Note: The Direct Access section offers 3 categories of POI from the current vicinity which can be searched for quickly and without additional entry.

For more details refer to the chapter "Direct access to POI" on page 39.
