Normally POIs for Supermarkets, Petrol Stations etc have no speed data in them so they don't generate a Proximity Alert. In fact Garmin don't show any POIs on screen that don't have a Proximity setting other than when you view the map when checking a destination. In normal travelling mode (guided and un-guided) you'll only see a POI if you select it as a Via or Final Destination. You can change this with POILoader but it gets annoying very quickly. I believe TT show all POIs when travelling but Garmins don't.


On the nuvis (with which I am more familiar than the i3) if you zoom in on the navigation map then POIs do appear - you don't get any warnings - which is a good thing as there are lots about in towns. I drive with the nav map set to 2D view, track up. Zooming into the 300ft scale brings up the POIs. They do appear on the 3D view - but because it isn't real 3D (it's 2D + perspective) you don't have any scale settings to check. IIRC you will get POIs displayed on the last two or three zoom levels in 3D. It's all down to the layers that GARMIN have in their maps - where different layers appear at different zoom levels. If you zoom out - the 'local' roads disappear to keep everything uncluttered. This is why POIs only show at the closer zooms.

I can get them to appear on the map as per my last post. However they never appear on my i3 when driving, even when zoomed right in.

Still might have changed since the hayday of the i3.....
