Has anyone ever had a problem with the number of POI's that can be loaded and viewed on a Nuvi 255w. I have 50 POI (approx. 42MB) catagories loaded on a 2GB SD card when try to load and view anything over the 50 entries on SD card the 51st entry will nor display. Is there a limit on the SD Cards for POI's. I know the 255w can use up a 4GB SD card. Help !!
Probably like the POI's
Probably like the POI's themselves; you can only scroll through the nearest 52 (I've never tried that many categories).

I think
I think that the Nuvi will only list the first 50 POIs in any POI file based on distance from your current or last known location. At least that what I'm seeing on my 780. You can still search for any of them and they will be found.
Nuvi 350, 760, 1695LM, 3790LMT, 2460LMT, 3597LMTHD, DriveLuxe 50LMTHD, DriveSmart 61, Garmin Drive 52, Garmin Backup Camera 40 and TomTom XXL540s.
Yes
I believe that is the case as well . . . only the nearest 50 will display.

SD card Limitations
Thank you all for your feedback on my question about the SD card's inability to display over 50 entries.
All THE BEST.... HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !

To extend to another
To extend to another 50.Touch where to,near at bottom of screen.Select different city.Now go back to custom pois and it will show you 50 for that area.Nice when you are traveling to look ahead for some of your custom pois for that area before you get there.

Good trick!
. . . or should I say clever maximization of the unit's capabilities. Either way, I'll have to try it! Thanks!
