5. The POI categories will appear in a bar on the side of the screen. Touch the bar and drag up and down, or use the up-and-down arrows to scroll through the list of POI categories

 

6. Touch the desired category once 

After a moment, the device will display all available POIs within that category and display them as blue squares. Select a blue square to bring up an information bar with the name of the location. If multiple results are located close to one another, use the left and right arrow buttons to scroll through the POIs in the blue circle representing the selection area. 

Touch the information bar along the bottom of the map, which displays the nearest address of the selected area if applicable, for more details about the selected POI.

To change the category type, press its icon in the upper right corner. 

To start navigation to the selected POI, touch Go!
