Two questions for a new nuvi owner (or would that be a newvi?)

 

Okay, if this is covered somewhere already, I apologize, but I can't find it and I have searched.

I've had my nuvi 760 for about a month now and really am enjoying it. I just have two questions that hopefully someone can answer.

What do the different colors mean for the roads? I use the 3-d mode if that matters. It looks like major interstate type roads show up as red, but I'd like to know what the others (grey, yellow, etc) mean?

A second question: Can I get POI, custom or otherwise to show up while in map mode? I can see where it would be a distraction most of the time and it would be shut off, but there are times when I'd like to see them. I've tried both 2-d and 3-d views.

Thanks in advance!

The different colors for the

The different colors for the roads are the Magenta (red)that is the route your taking, or the HIGHLIGHTED route, the rest of the grey, orange etc are the off route roads, major hiways, city streets etc,

As far as seeing the poi's Yes you can but you have to zoom out quite a way to see them, probaly around the 800 ft or so but it can be done..

A little clarification

The red roads are major highways, the yellow roads are the main roads and the gray ones are side streets.

What these mean to you is that any road that is not gray will display the speed limit.

The Magenta is your chosen route.

And you get the POIs to show by zooming IN quite a bit. They will show on your unit in any mode.
