The POI database is the place where your saved positions (“My
Pts of Interest”) or any preloaded positions are stored for easy
access when creating a GOTO or multileg route.
Accessing the POI Database
From any screen, press
Menu. Use the
joystick to highlight “Pts of Interest” and press
Enter.
A list of POI types are displayed for you to select
from.
If you select “My Pts of Interest,” a list of all the
POI’s you have saved are displayed in the order
you defined. If you highlight one of the
displayed POI’s and press Menu, you will have
the option of editing or deleting the POI.
(Shortcut: pressing
Enter with the POI
highlighted goes into the edit mode.)
Geocache Pts provides a path to POI’s that you have added using
the Magellan geocaching software.
From “Background Map,” you will be given a list of topics, such
as cities, highways, airports, waterways and parks. After selecting
one of these topics, a keyboard is displayed if alphabetical listing
is chosen. As the list of POI’s in the database can be enormous,
you can use the keyboard to enter the first few characters in the
POI you are looking for when doing an alphabetical search. With
the first few characters entered, highlight “OK” and press
Enter. This will speed up the search for the POI you are seeking.
When you have the POI selected, pressing
Enter brings up
information about that POI. You can also save it as one of your
user POI’s or view it on the Map screen.
