When borrowing my father's Roadmate 6000T, this POI was available; on my new Maestro 3100, it is not. I am now searching for a different model. Can anyone tell me how to find out which units will have this POI? Or is it safe to say that all of the models with 6 million POIs will likely have that one? Thanks!

Any suggestions? I bought a TomTom One(the discontinued model)and it doesn't have hardly any, can I add more? And if so, how? Thanks!!

Each one usually representing an individual business. What a friggin joke. Who wants to download and install hundreds of POI files? Aren't POI files by category for the entire USA? (restaurants, auto repair, retail stores, etc) If so, WHERE? I’m seeing a lot of custom POI files available for download. Each one usually representing an individual business. What a friggin joke.

They rarely have a simple street address, and yet are frequent destinations in unfamiliar towns. Could they be added manually if necessary? Thanks much.
