Tony,
Yes, there is also the possibility of doing a POI Search.
There are a few different ways of doing POI Searches:
* F will list All Nearby POIs
* SPACE with F will do a POI Search based on category, subcategory and
a POI Name.
BACKSPACE with F will do a POI Search based on category, subcategory,
distance/time, Direction, Field Type and Field Name.
* BACKSPACE with dot 3 will do a POI Search based on a user defined
category and subcategory. This can be configured by pressing O for
GPS Options and A for AdvancedGPS Options.
It isn't required to fill out all of the fields, but the more specific
one is, the quicker the search.
Museums would be found in the Category Entertainment and Subcategory of Museum.
Railways would be foundin the Category of Travel/Transportation and
Subcategory Railway Station.
Thanks,
Kevin
