Points of Interest (POI)
The Points of Interest (POI) list is a collection of thousands of interesting or
useful places organized by easy-to-find categories. For example, you can use
this device to guide you to a shopping center, hotel, restaurant, or gas station.
Many categories have subcategories to provide for an even greater list of
choices. For example, gas station may have many subcategories each
representing a particular brand name. The same is also true for hotels.
Restaurants have subcategories that represent different types of food, such as
Indian, Italian, and French.
