How to use custom POI's

 

Please excuse a beginner's question. I have a nuvi 350 and have loaded the NPR tower, Rest Areas, and KFC onto my device.
Rest Areas has proximity alerts and I do not think the other 2 do.
While driving what do I need to do to have the contents appear on my route map? Is it "automatic"? or do I need to "invoke" them in some way.

With appreciation

zoom in

They only appear around the 800' screen (3d). In 2d they do show a little farther out.

You can

You can find then under Where to / extras/ custom pois. I do not think that you will want them to alert you. For your radio list it will show the closest 50 to you location, but I don't ever route to the tower. Also, it will only alert if it close to the road you are on, so most of the towers are too far from the highway.
