Welcome to the site

Welcome to the site njdriver04 .You have to zoom in to see the icons.They will show once you get close to the arrival point as well as other custom icons you have located in the same area.

Show POIs

You can do either one. They will show on the map if you zoom in close enough; they can be accessed in the Extras menu, and the POIs will act the way you loaded them with Garmin Poi Loader. If you ran Poi Loader automatically, you will get a proximity alert chime when you are within 1320 feet of a POI.

Go to view mp, then You have

Go to view mp, then You have to zoom in to see them. I know its annoying, I had the same issue when I first started adding custom POIs. I wish there were a way to see them when zoomed out.
