you to the presence of points of interest as you approach
them. You can use the drop-down pick list to set how far
away you’ll be when you receive the alerts. In the list of POI

Move the slider bar at the bottom of the screen to limit
alerts to POIs right on your route or to include POIs that
are nearby.
