I just got a F20 for my birthday and love it. While going through all the POI's I am surprised at the really obscure things that it has and yet I can't seem to find a Zoo. Does anyone know what section this will be under and is there any way to wild card search in the poi's?

thanks,

The issue with the build in POIs is that they decide how many they keep. Too few and the data is useless, too many, and it's hard to search and takes up too much space, so also useless.

It's always pot luck if the particular POI you want is in the database or not, let alone if you can find it. Many places are called different names to what they are officially known as - so finding them even if they are in the database is a problem.

I find I virtually never use it the POI data, I tend to lookup what I want elsewhere (before the trip) and put in the postcode.
