Getting to your destination is more important than staring at the map and wondering why the POI looks weird.. :mrgreen:

If the mappers find a way to make the POI appears, you will see it. Otherwise, guess we just live with it. For now. :mrgreen:

Bro, if you really want to see the POIs during navigation then I suggest you buy Garmin Nuvi 255W.....

I love this 255W.... no problem at all.

Previously I've been using Garmin Mobile XT on my Nokia e52. Since I'm very satisfied with the product, thats why I opt in using new Garmin device. So far it has work like a charm for me. Hope solution for the POI can be found soon.

Can anyone recommend me a place in Singapore to buy 2465 for sgd290 or less?
Was at Jaya Jusco Tebrau City, they were offering it for rm650. Unfortunately they were out of stock.

Hi,

Have anyone experience the set shutting down by itself when using the voice command function and as well as when you are playing around and exploring the functions available on the 2465?. ( sometimes it just shuts down and sometimes it rebooted itself.)

Was actually wondering if it's only me who has this issue? or is this normal for this to happen to this set?. Was told that this could be due to some bug in the firmware which affects other users as well. I have tried to search the forums but seems no one has feedback they have this issue.

Other then that, the set is working perfectly well.
