I downloaded the happy Eater POI form there website and loaded onto the Nuvi 310 - How do I search for the POI. I was on the M4 near reading and just wanted to stop and grab a coffee, I knew there was one around junction 11 - but wanted to find the nearest..

Have I missed something or does it only just tell you when near the POI and cant be searched??

On page 49 of the manual it states

Quote:
To view your Custom POIs, touch My Locations, then Custom POIs


then you should be able to select a POI to navigate to.

Usually they only show those within 50 miles of your current position.

Sorry - cut myself short there. If you wish to find a POI somewhere over 50 miles away you need to set your current location to somewhere near and then search the POIs.
