Accessin POI on Nuvi 1450T

 

I downloaded rest stops along the interstate several months ago. I'm preparing to travel and would like to review rest stops along my route. Can anyone tell me how to access this on my device?
Thanks

"Near"

What I have done ahead of an actual trip is to put my nuvi into simulation mode.

Then, I do a Where to? >; pick my destination and let the nuvi calculate the route and ask me if I want to simulate the route - to which I answer yes.

Then I go back to the main menu and do
Where to? > Near > My Current Route > OK

On the next screen, I do
[down arrow] > Extras > Custom POIs
and then navigate to my rest areas.

Once I select rest areas, my nuvi will find all the rest areas along the route. I can select one and look at it in the map

All the while my nuvi is simulating, by the way.

neat trick

Wow,

I never thought of that... thanks for the nifty trick!

Using a different "along the route" file, is there a way to specify the proximity to the route?
