What the heck Are These Icons On My NUVI 350?

Last night I upgraded software version from 4.4 to 4.6
I also have the red light camera POI file loaded.

Today while driving I now have new icons on the screen such as a bus, a $, and others that are small and to difficult for me to make out while driving (Old Eyes even with a new prescription in my glasses).

Does anyone know what happened or am I just an old unobservant guy that never noticed the icons before?(nah can't be that, I never miss a pretty woman on the street smile)

It's likely a pre-loaded POI icon

And you're zoomed in far enough to see them, or, you've saved one of the pre-loaded pois as a favorite, those will show up at any zoom level...the $ icon is a bank or ATM; and the bus...some sort of transportation related place of business I'm guessing...the icons they use for the pre-loaded pois are generally a really small representation of international map symbols/road signs.

Thanks.
Your answer makes sense, I am zoomed in to the maximum.

adding to garmin icons

I think I have seen this asked before, but I am not positive, is there any way to upload additional icons for the garmin POI's? When I add a favorite sometimes, the icons that come with garmin do not really fit.
