Saturday, April 6th, 2013

All Garmin Nuvi sold by us come with Pre-loaded map for East Africa(roads for Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda & Tanzania). The map has important details such as hotels and restaurants plus petrol stations and ATMS.

These details, also known as POI or Points of interest, are designed to make business travel and family travel easier by providing turn-by-turn directions to destinations.

The Nuvi uses your current location to find the POI that are closest to you. You can search for POI by category, or you can enter a specific name of a business.

How To Find POI on your Nuvi

Step 1

Tap “Where To?” on the Garmin Nuvi home screen and select “Points of Interest.” A list of POI categories, such as “Food and Drink,” “Fuel” and “Bank or ATM,” appear on the screen.

Step 2

Touch the category of the POI you want to locate and select a subcategory for the POI. A list of POI will appear on the screen. Not all categories have subcategories; you’re immediately taken to the POI list when you choose those categories.

Step 3

Tap the POI that you want and tap “GO.”

If you know the name of the POI, you can enter it instead of searching through the categories. From the Points of Interest screen, tap “Spell Name.” Type the name using the on-screen keyboard and press “Done.” Select the POI and tap “Go.”
