Points of interest
Points of interest, also called POI (
P
oints
O
f
I
nterest) for short, are
useful addresses that are catalogued according to particular criteria.
Special destinations include ports, airports, restaurants, hotels, petrol
stations, public buildings, doctor's surgeries, hospitals, shopping
centres, etc.
POI can be represented on the map by symbols. Tap in the
N
AVIGATION
window on Options > Settings > POI in order to select the categories
you want to appear on the map.
POI nearby
POI nearby are special destinations located within a certain radius of
your current location. This means you can always find the nearest petrol
station for example, no matter where you are.
Note:
GPS reception must be good enough for determining your
position. Check the
(GPS Ready) icon to see whether GPS
reception is good enough.
For details refer to chapter "Initialising the GPS receiver" on page 23.
Note:
The Direct Access section offers 3 categories of POI from the
current vicinity which can be searched for quickly and without additional
entry.
For details refer to chapter "Direct access to POI" on page 29.
