can't get POIs to come up on Nuvi 350

I just got a handful of POIs installed successfully and I went out to run some errands and was curious to see how they pop up however nothing showed. For instance, I had to run to Home Depot (had the HD POIs installed) but nothing every came up. I drove by Walmart and the walmart POI didnt pop up.
What did I do wrong? Is there a setting on my Nuvi 350 that I have to turn them on or something?
Thanks for your help in advance.

The search function here is a wonderful thing !!
You have to set alerts if you want that to occur.
Manual mode when you load POI's.

Regular POIs do not alert by default. If you want an alert, you must set one. This can be done in a variety of ways.
Check out Phil's great guide to alerts for more information.

For the 350: All of the files must be placed in a single directory and uploaded using the poiloader utility. I found that the 350 will only display your TourGuide poi's if they are contained in the poi.gpi file. The unit is able to differentiate between them and they display as individual poi listings under Where to? => My Locations => Custom POIs. The limitation is that all the POIs in the upload directory will share the same proximity alert settings.
Example:
350 Upload\
TourGuide US Rest Areas.csv
TourGuide US Rest Areas.mp3
TourGuide US Rest Areas.bmp
TourGuide Starbucks.csv
TourGuide Starbucks.mp3
TourGuide Starbucks.bmp
Upon Success - All are combined and saved in the poi.gpi file (same location as in initial post)
Displays on unit as:
All Categories
TourGuide US Rest Areas
TourGuide Starbucks
Hope this helps

The POI should show up on
The POI should show up on your GPS screen. Alerting is a different thing which must be setup, see Motorcycle's link.
