Dearth of city/town info?

I'm a recent convert to the Garmin line after years of using TomToms. I recently took my new 2595 on a trip and was surprised at the lack of visibility around upcoming towns/cities. I would expect these to be noted on the route ahead but more often than not I didn't find any evidence of the town or city I was in when viewing my nuvi 2595. Is this to be expected or have I overlooked a key setting to enable more details?
I have used POI loader and have a Custom POIs file but don't know how this would interfere with displaying basic town/city info?
Thanks for the thoughts.
City Boundaries
The map should show urban areas and areas within city limits as a separate color from the surrounding areas. However, to my knowledge there is nothing that displays the town you are currently in unless you are a far away zoom level. (Although if you touch the vehicle on the screen to go to the "Where Am I?" screen, it will tell you your current location including the city).
