New User / Search Custom POIs Along a Route on Garmin Nuvi?

 

I have a 2460LMT and recently loaded a number of POI files from the site. Can you search for custom POIs along your route just like you can with the built-in Garmin POIs? This would certainly be helpful but I don't see the option to do so. It seems to only show you what is around your current location.

it's exactly the same

It's done in the exact same way. Instead of selecting the built-ins select the custom poi after selecting "along my route."

Ah Ha! Got it, thanks

Ah, I see! You just have to change the option from near your current location to near your route BEFORE you click on Extras. That's what I wasn't doing.

With Garmin built-in POIs, you can click on POIs and then choose near, along your route.
