You see the 50 closest poi's selected to where you are located at power on.

50 is the Max

50 is the maximum that it will show, so as Benson said, you see the 50 closest. However if you do a search on spelling within your custom POI's it will show the first 50 that match your search regardless of how close they are. That way you can see that there really are more than the 50 you are seeing now.

This is the same answer that you were given back on 2/23/2007

only 50 poi Do you remember????

I understand we may have a little bit of trouble communicating and perhaps you don't understand English very well. I will try one LAST time to help answer your question.

Total Poi loaded = very many, maybe 30,000 or more.

Poi you can see = only 50 closest to where you are right now. Drive maybe 150 mile and maybe you see some different one but only 50 still show up. They will be the 50 closest to where you are then. You will still have the 30,000 but that would be too many pages to look at, so Garmin say, they will only show you 50 closest poi at a time to look at.

( And now for your next question, in case you forgot, no you cannot put poi onto SD card. Your c320 can no use SD card for poi. )

Have a nice day

I can't help but sense a level of irritation in your response, lsmonop. As I'm sure you are aware, user expertise and learning curve vary enormously when it comes to technology.

Have patience, because you never know who will be reading your posts and noticing that both your grammar and spelling tend to "have a little bit trouble communicating."

So let me see if I get this

So let me see if I get this...
POI = 50
150 = 50
50 = 30,000 and 30,000 = 50
SD = 0
I should have gone to school that day smile)

“Can't we all... just... get along?” And have fun too... I've taken a hit or two also just ask Tom but hey I can take it smile)

My reply was not intended to offend. However when the same question is repeatedly asked and answered (not only in this forum, but email as well, and not only answered by me) it can get frustrating.
Rather than neglect or ignore the question I chose to reply.
Anyone that has read all of the original posters posts, will perhaps comprehend and understand the reasoning for my choice of grammar and spelling. (Note the correct spelling of grammar)

Also, anyone that has been around for the past 30+ weeks or that has read my posts, know I do like to have fun while getting the point across.

We have all taken hits in one form or another, that's the way it goes, we still come back and we still have fun.
