Hello everyone. I'm new to the whole GPS thing, but am starting to get used to it a little. My brother has one and loves it, so he got me one as a B-day gift. I have a TT1, 3rd Ed. My question is, I dowloaded a POI listing from the HOME site for a nationwide restaurant chain, and several in my area of New Orleans are not showing up. Any ideas as to why? Thanks for the help, I'm sure I'll be on here a bunch.
Welcome to the site
The reason could be that whoever compiled that list forgot to include the ones you are missing or wasn't aware they existed.
Garmin 38 - Magellan Gold - Garmin Yellow eTrex - Nuvi 260 - Nuvi 2460LMT - Google Nexus 7 - Toyota Entune NAV

I've downloaded some POI's from TomTom with correct coordinates and incorrect/inconsistent information.
Now you have a good reason to make your own POI's!
