Hi Peter
I will re-download the maps and see if there is any difference.
According to instructions I don't need to download any extra files (or have
I misunderstood something?)

Hi Steve,
If I explore virtually from the Reading town POI, then I find 56 POIs in a
radius of 200 feet, and
100 within 400 feet. and these are definitely from the 2014 sets, so I
really wonder whether there might have been a problem during your
installation. This is what occurred to me straight away because honestly I
think these new sets are pretty good.
I've done a few road-trips since updating and not found a noticeable
reduction, and I agree on how important a rich source of POIs is, so do let
us
know what you find. And what do others in the UK think?
Best,
Peter
