Garmin sat navs don't show POIs unless you select them as a destination or via point.
As for the card and the pre-loaded Speed Cameras i'm not sure. |

Not strictly true... If you zoom in close enough on either 2D or 3D display - then they are shown - at least on my 660.

Ah. 
Thought all Garmins treated the POIs the same. |

It works on my 660. In 2D map, zoom in until the scale reads 200ft and they appear. At 300ft - nothing seems to be shown. Anyone want to confirm if this works on other units? Same in 3D map - no scale is shown - but it is the same as the 2D scale (if you see what I mean).
If route following then this scale isn't too bad - I refer to be zoomed out a bit more for general driving though.
