POI Not loading correctly

I live in America so I'm not sure how much help I will find but here goes
I have made a list of lighthouses around the Great Lakes (I live in Michigan)
All the lighthouses in Michigan show up on My Streetpilot c330,
the problem I am having is when I try to put lighhouses in from say California which is across the USA 2000 miles away, no data is stored for this lighthouse?
Entering -83.4493,44.2536,Tawas Point Light works fine but
-122.4222, 45.1111, Alcatraz Light does not show up in the list

Is there a limitation for entering poi that are too far away?

Any help would be appreciated

if you have not got that part of the usa loaded on your card the pois will not work get a bigger card and load more states hope this helps

Didn't know about the 50 closest thanks for the info

Only have 35 in list so far so this should show if that was the case
This is driving me crazy as there is not much documentation for what info can be included in poi etc..
I have tried other locations as well florida, New York and the only ones that work are the ones near Michigan. I got Ohio to work which is 1 state away so maybe there is a limit to how many states away will show

Thanks for the imput

If like the i3 then the POIs will be all on your device but it will only show the ones near your area so if you want to find others that are further away then you have to find your way to an are nearby (e.g. city) and then the POIs near that city should show up.

as almahadeus said: try: where to / city / san berdu / then go to 'find nearby' then custom poi's

Thanks guys that last bit did the trick went to the city nearest the lighthouse and went to custom poi and bingo there it was.

You guys are awsome bailing out newbies the way you do.

Cheers
