POI Presence

Massive apologies if this has been asked before,
but is there anyway of having POIs appearing on the map when a pre designated route has not be inputted into the gps, or will the icons only appear when on route.

Looking at lonedreamer's previous posts it appears it might be a Garmin which he is referring to, in which case it varies from model to model, but most newer ones will show POIs if you are zoomed in enough. However if you have automatic zoom on i find Garmins tend to zoom out too far so you can't generally see them.

Hiya guys,
yes unfortunately (kind of) I do indeed have a Garmin, so appears its not quite as simple...
Ill play around with the zooms a bit, but other than that it seems like its a no then....

Hi lonedreamer,
Have a look at this http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=76322 post. I think it may have an answer for you. This works perfectly on my Mobile XT version so should? work on any Garmin device.

Cheers
