I stumbled across this forum as I am a new owner of a Garmin Nuvi 350. Having never used any sort of GPS system before, and not knowing what to expect, Google fond this site.
I have no idea how POI works, and I though the GPS would show stuff like restaurants while traveling a route. Maybe the 350 will and I haven't figured it out yet.
Anyway, I will read and learn, and if you have any tips for the Nuvi 350 I am all ears!!
Sadly, I will be without my new toy for about 1 week, it has dead pixel right in the middle of the screen, and I guess I am anal about spending $400 and having a blemish so soon!! Garmin is great for the customer service

Thanks for the welcome. I do have a quick question on POI's in general. Do they show up on the map as your driving a route, kinda like the name of a park does? Or are they just in the data base for a "search"??

For them to showup on the

For them to showup on the map requires a .bmp file associated with that poi and you have to set the viewing to maximum

Thanks for the information, I was wondering why my POI's would not show up on the map.
