Included POI file.

I purchased a nuvi 200w approximately 9 months ago. I scanned the included POI that came in the unit, and noticed that more than a third in my area were obsolete or incorrect. Does Garmin ever update these files for download, or is the only option to purchase the new map with hopefully an updated POI file?

Thanks, Bob

Only the latter, I'm afraid.

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

Even the new Maps will have obsolete or incorrect POIs as this is a huge database. That is one of the reasons we subscribe to this site and download current, user moderated POIs to supplement the built in ones.
