If you touch the entry you want, it should display any location information it has on that entry EXCEPT the Lat/Long. The lat/long stored in the unit for a POI is so highly classified even the author can't extract it until they get to the location and press the vehicle icon.

Most of the time the Lat/Long is not needed and certainly is of no use while driving unless you happen to know the lat/long of your current position.

Easy way to check out a far away place ... "set loc"ation for a various poi, then view map, and touch the vehicle icon for information.

I believe that "Set Loc" is only available in simulation mode. Just switch to that mode then follow the above directions.
