Hi all, I've noticed that my Oregon shows a lot of "unnamed" attractions, e.g. when I search for Attraction | Park or Garden. It seems that the device shows all points wth type 0x2c06 here (maybe also others), no matter if they are indexed or not, if at least one of them is named and therefore indexed, maybe not all but those in the same sub division of the map. Maybe there is a flag somewhere which would tell the device if that should be done or not, but I did not find that yet. Any hints are welcome. In my case most or unnamed and since the entries are sorted by distance I have to scroll to find those with a name or type the name if I know it. To avoid that you can probably use different types for named and unnamed POI. Another option might be to place unnamed POI in their own sub division. Gerd

I can only say for the GPSMap 6x series (at least for the three devices I own): Old firmwares use the index for POI search. It is quick and you only see what is in the index. New firmwares seems to lookup POI directly in the tiles and not use the Index at all. Even if the device is newer and faster than the old one, searching POIs with this can take a really long time ... And in my experiements, all POI will be shown in the index, independent of the number. At least I haven't found any which is not shown. With the old firmware, a lot of numbers are not shown in the list.

Hi Thorsten, do you see that behaviour also with original Garmin maps? Maybe the device ignores the index if it detects errors in it.

With original Garmin maps it is much faster. But hard to say if they use the index or look into the tiles: they don't have nearly as many POIs as my OSM maps have. Are there somewhere free Garmin Maps with a lot of POIs for testing? Thorsten
