If you have loaded icons along with the poi's they will show up when zoomed in to 300' or more..

Grey Dot

If you didn't load custom icons / bmp, they will show up as grey dots.

Another way to see your Icons

I have the 750 also, like you I didn't know at first that you had to be zoomed in to see the POI Icons. What I did to prove they got loaded was this:

click on Where to
page down arrow
click on Extras
click on customPOIs
depending on how you loaded them they could all be visable at this point or you will see your Categories, either way, click on one of your POI's
Instead of clicking on GO, click on Map, bottom center

This will show you where your POI is so you should see your ICON. Zoom in to see it's location better

Hope this helps.
