13.6 Selecting a Point of Interest as a Destination
Points of Interest (or POIs) are commercial or recreational locations, landmarks, or services that are preloaded into the
Magellan RoadMate database. There are over six million POI’s in the database, which range from restaurants, parks, gas
stations, and banks, to schools and police stations, and more. The purpose of the POI database (accessed through the
Dining, ATM, Gas... menu option) is to provide you with a list of popular destinations without having to enter the address
manually in order to route to them.
13.6.1 Spell Name
If you know the name of the POI you are looking for, find it using the Spell Name feature. You can enter any word contained
within the name and the Magellan RoadMate will return all entries containing that word.
From the Destination screen, select
