Hi,
I know the name of a college but do not know the address.
How do I find it on this device?
Thank you |

So your POIs don't list ANY schools?
What maps do you have? |

I do not see any.
Unless I am doing something incorrectly.
Or even something like Mcdonals.
Should they be in POI ?
Thanks |

i don't think there are colleges in POIs unless you uploaded it.
check in google the address of the college and type it in your garmin. |

So if you goto Where To?, Points Of Interest there's no POI categories?
Schools are listed under Community but on my unit there is no listing for colleges. |

Yes, I find the list of schools under community. Thanks
But it shows the same name many miles away instead of the one onnly 1 mile away.
Should this list be updated? if so how?
Thank you |

Those POIs are built into the maps and are updated by Garmin.
Just Google the address and use that or try PGPSW POIs Community - College, but there's only 21 listed though.. |
