nüvifone G60 - Missing POIs

Postby zamad » Tue Sep 29, 2009 6:16 pm

The nuvifone G60 does not seem to display POI icons very well, depending on which screen you're currently on. :frus:

Most of the POI do not appear on the navigation screen (red border) of the nufone G60, with the Map Detail set at 'More' (Options: More/Normal/Less). Petrol Stations (fuel), buildings (Other), Auto Sevices, School (Community) and others do not appear, while POIs like restaurants (food & drink) and sports (recreation) can be seen.
However, if the 'Map' screen (the one with the green border) is evoked, all the POIs are visible. :ko: Is this a similar issue with the 765? The blue circles are POIs that are visible (on my nuvi 205W).

Some screenshots by the G60, overlaid on Mapsource.

Simulated route to Esso LDP Puchong (D)

1. 'POI Selected' Screen.
2. Pressing 'View Map' (on Screen #1) shows North Up view of the map. Pressing 'Back Arrow' gives you Screen #1.
3. Pressing 'Go!' (on Screen #1) starts the simulation: Notice the lack of POI icons.
4. Simulating the route: Upon arrival. Notice the lack of POI icons.
5. Arrived at Destination. Navigation changed to Pedastrian Mode (because simulation completed and G60 not in cradle). The same POIs are visible, as in Screen #3.
6. Tapping 'Screen #5' shows North Up view of the map... with full POI display! Can you spot the differences with Screen #5?

same goes to me..

the important POI that I expected to appear (etc: Petrol pump, Masjid/Surau) while navigation not appear.. not like GMXT.

no one here can solve this problem, unless Garmin did some upgrade to this G60 software better than 2.43 and GPS firmware better than 230

and lastly the audio, 1.0 is to low (they not upgrade it since factory firmware) only GPS sound is loud, play .mp3 just like whisper..
