Hi! I just came back from a trip, with one of my friend who has a garmin 350 and me a 680, and I found that most of the time He will have found more Poi with his 350 than with my 680.
Like close to bush garden in Virginia state He found a KAO very close, and mine found one at 45miles away, do you know why?
It's look like he has more Poi than me.
thanks
Are you both using the same version maps?

That could be the difference... 2008 vs 2009

another option
I agree with Aophiuchus in that the most likely reason is you were not using the same version of maps.
However, the other option is that you were not searching in the same manner ... for instance, near where I am now vs. near my current route.

I had 2009 and He had the 2008, and we used the same technic.
Looks to me
Looks to me like it got got added in 2009 update !
But maybe I'll have time to check this weekend . I run 2 units with different version mapping software !

The other way around.
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.
Maybe the 2009 map has been cleaned up?
Could it be that the 2008 version included POIs that no longer exist, and hadn't been removed, and the 2009 has been cleaned up?
Just a thought.

Yes

I would certainly conclude that.

I checked the Garmin site and they do not tell you the number of POI's they have for each unit, how lame!
Magellan units have between 1 and 6 million POI's depending on the GPS, so that may be the difference for Garmin's as well. YMMV.

It look this way, but 350
It look this way, but 350 would have more Poi than 680, I Can tell you a lot more.

The built-in POIs are part of the Maps. A 350 and a 680 using the same map version would have the same POIs. Just because an older map shows more POIs in a given area, doesn't mean anything -- all the extras might be out of business. One of the big complaints of older map versions is that they still contain closed POIs.
