Hi and welcome.
On some models the POIs will show up if you zoom in far enough when driving. |

I've found if you keep zooming in it learns to stay that way. Well on the 760T anyway. |

yes they show up on custom pois,but you cant see them on the map unless you drag map with ur finger or do overhead view,both of which you cant stay in before it reverts to normal 3d view |

Perhaps another 265T owner can confirm this is a "feature" of the 265T.
Or is it a "feature" of the 2xx series? |
