Hi,
Got a Nuvi 1210 (ancient I know, but I have lifetime updates and it works fine). I'm playing around with some of the additional features prior to a US road trip next summer.
One of the features under the POI menu is nearest petrol station, nearest supermarket, nearest restaurant etc. It shows arrows and distances that change as you drive, and the list updates.
I think this feature will be useful, but what I'd like is to be able to select the nearest outlet of a chain. EG, instead of a list of all local supermarkets that updates, just a list of one chain as perf the thread title. IE just Tesco's, Little Chef, Walmart or whatever chain.

You may be able to do a search for name, I'm not familiar with that device.
The suggested Where to? - Extras - Custom POI is what I use here in the UK.
You do need to load these first of course but many POI lists are available to download from here or the stores themselves. I guess US sites/stores might do the same.

I reckon something like:
Where to? | Points of Interest | Shopping | All Shopping | Spell -} "Tesco"
should do the trick, if you're happy with the POI's built into the map data.
