Garmin 750 Custom POI Bug

I have a set of Custom POI’s on my nuvi 750 that appear to work correctly except under one condition. When I select Near – My Current Route then I get several strange displays that include: 1. No matches found 2. When matches are found scrolling changes only the mileage and not the name. Only My Current Route has this problem. The other 3 choices work as expected.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Latest firmware and software downloaded from Garmin.
Verification of the Bug
Would someone try to repro? Just start a route and use the Near option.
Thanks

The same thing happened with my 750 when I simulated the route and searched for locations near "My Current Route."
A lot of them returned "No Matches," and where it found the match, scrolling down did not change the name of the location.
But if I select the location after scrolling down, it calls up the information matching the distance and not the name displayed.
I hope Garmin will fix it soon.
Fortunately, this bug doesn't affect me as much since I don't plan my trips this way. If I start to get drowsy, I search for the nearest Starbucks to where I am.
As "Jill" says, "I want my Starbucks and I want it now!"
nüvi 750 & 760
it is working fine
I try to simulate as you said, it gives the proper result. 1. no matches found ( yes it give when i try to spell some thing strange and try to find it) 2. when matches are found then mileages and the direction arrows are changing. when i scroll down, it updates the name and gives the new set of list as expected. thats how it should behave. 3. i dont see any difference between the My current route and the other 3 choices. every thing works fine as expected.

I did not use any spelling to repro the problem. Just start a route, slect near then select one of your custom poi's.
Version Update
Garmin sent me instructions to upgrade to version 2.50 and this fixed the problem.
I had recently checked so this version must be recent.
My version shows 2.20, do u

Updating to Version 2.50
Garmin sent me the following:
As to the POIs I would like you to go to the following link and update the software on your unit. http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=999-99...
If you are a windows user you will want software version 2.4.1 as of April 3 2007. It will then walk you through the software updates. Then reload the updates.
NOTE: The above refers to version 2.4.1 of the update software. It then proceeded to load version 2.50 into the 750.
FURTHER NOTE: I was somewhat reluctant to share this because I'm not sure if this is fully released or possibly some prerelease. So proceed with caution.
There were a number of language updates available. I updated the 2 British related ones.
Our Callie
Our 750 is named Callie which is a British name. Her full name is Ree Callie because she is always recalculating...
