Does anyone know if it's possible to see POI icons on the map? I know I can see one POI icon if I select it, but can you see all gas stations/restaurants while you're driving by them? (Using the C550).
I had a TomTom for like a day before I had to return and it had this feature, the Garmin I have doesn't seem to have it, or I can't find it.
Frankly, it's driving me crazy... I don't want to return it because of this! Help?
no
The only way(s) to see the built in icons ie gas stations/restaurants is in the browse map mode. You then must be zoomed in to 300' or closer. Another way is to ►"where to" ►"cities" (then choose a city or spell and select a city) then ►"show map" ► zoom to 300'. The good thing about these modes is you can drag the map around. Just don't try to use these methods while driving, unless your co-pilot is operating the gpsr. These built in icons will not show up when just driving around town.
Custom poi icons (bmp's) that are associated with custom poi files are visible while driving. Again, you must be zoomed in to 300' or closer.
