3.7.2.4 Manage POI (Points of Interest)
Here you can set all the parameters of POIs that you have created and the visibility
of the built-in POIs that come with the map.
Manage built-in POI visibility
The maps in this GPS device come with a huge number of POIs. Displaying all of
them would make the maps too crowded (to see how POI items are shown on the
map). In order to avoid that, you can decide which POI groups to show and which
ones to hide on the map. This GPS device has a multi-level POI category system.
You can set the visibility of the top two levels. All levels below that will be shown or
hidden according to their respective category (i.e. you can set the visibility of Petrol
Stations in the Services category, but all brands listed under that will either be shown
or suppressed together).
Groups shown with a grey icon
are hidden; blue icons
are visible on the
map, while the ones shown in two colors
have some of their subcategories
shown and some others hidden.
If you highlight any of the POI groups by tapping them, the button in the bottom left
corner will become Show if the POI group is hidden, or Hide if the group is shown or
partly shown.
Tip: To make a partly shown group fully shown, tap this button twice. First you will
hide the whole group, and then you will have it displayed with all its subgroups.
Tapping again the highlighted POI group (except for My POI – described later) opens
the list of subcategories of that group. Here you cannot see bicolor subgroups, as
visibility can only be set for the top two levels of categories. Showing and hiding a
subgroup is done the same way as for the main groups.
Manage My POI
By highlighting then tapping again the My POI switch on the Manage POI main
screen you can manage the POI groups and items that you have created.
Note: The group Unnamed only appears if you have previously saved a POI item
without creating a new POI group for it.
Tapping any of the group names will open a list of POIs saved in that group. This list
is similar to the list of POI results in Find. The POIs are ordered based on their
distance from your current position. If GPS position is not available or you have
disabled Lock-to-Position by tapping the map, the POIs will be ordered by their
distance from the Cursor.
When the My POI Groups are displayed, you have the following options:
