Assuming you are talking about the built in POI's and not custom POI's from this site ... they are contained in the map data. You could report specific errors to Garmin or Navteq (Here.com) and they might make corrections on future map updates, but for the most part, it is what it is.

Have a look

Have a look in the POI directory and see if there are any .gpi files there. If you talking about custom POIs that could be what your seeing.

Same thing on my 255W

I have a Nuvi 255W and it has always had the same issue. I assumed it was due to errors in the way the built-in POIs are classified in the map data.

If I am looking for gas I use GasBuddy on my smart phone. It's great. Accurate locations and up-to-date prices. GasBuddy.com
