Points of Interest (POI)
The Magellan Maestro has preloaded POIs that can be used as a destination for a route. Selecting a
restaurant or finding a petrol station nearby is as simple as tapping the screen.
Categories and Subcategories
POIs are categorised into unique categories from petrol stations to wineries. Most, but not all
categories are further organised into subcategories. Restaurants have, for example, 16 subcategories
that provide a way to search for restaurants serving Chinese food, fast food, or even Swiss food.
