Points of Interest (POI)
The Magellan Maestro has POIs preloaded that can be used as a destination for a route. Selecting a
restaurant or finding an ATM nearby is at your fingertips.
Categories and Subcategories
POIs are categorized into unique categories from gas stations to wineries. Most, but not all categories
