Visible Pois (Points Of Interest) - V7 NAV740 User Manual

4.1.8 Visible POIs (Points of Interest)

V7 Navigation comes with thousands of built-in POIs, and you can create your own
POI database as well. Having all of them displayed on the map would make the map
too crowded. To avoid this, V7 Navigation lets you select which POIs to show and
which ones to hide (Page 60) using their categories and subcategories.
POIs are represented by icons on the map. For a built-in POI it is the icon of the
subcategory of the actual POI. For points you create, it is the icon you had chosen
when you created the POI (it can be changed later).
These icons are large enough to recognize the symbol, and semi-transparent so as
not to cover the streets and junctions behind them.
When the map is zoomed out, the icons are not shown. As you zoom in, small dots
appear at the locations of visible POIs. Zooming in further makes the full icons
appear.
If two points are too close to each other so that icons overlap, a multi-POI icon is
shown instead of individual ones. Zoom in more to see them separately. (Should the
two POIs have the same icon, this icon will be displayed instead of the multi-POI
icon.)
Note: When navigating, POI icons can be disabled together with street names (Page
52). If you still need this information during your journey, just drag the map to disable
Lock-to-Position (Page 28). This will restore street names and POI icons
immediately. Now tap Lock to reactivate Lock-to-Position.
