Morning all,

On my map display I would like to show some poi's (petrol stations) etc. but I can't seem to. Find out how. I've got the poi ticked but nothing!

Any ideas

Thanks
Matt

It's a cut and paste from online manual

I think it's even easier isn't it just a quick tick on one of the options while you're in Nav? Great reply detail above but I think to show Petrol stations as POI was really easy?

Go to Navigation > Map (press Option button) > Display Points of Interest and select as required

Then back to the Map, from the left hand side menu, Map Views > Additional Info > Points of Interest

You maybe only did the second section? Possibly not showing anything until you've done the first bit.

Still can't do it. Tried various options and I've got everything ticked but don't get the option ALL, NONE or ALL SELECTED.

it's driving me nuts!!!!

It won't display POI's if you have the grey traffic detailed map selected and displayed....

I've not. I've tried every possible option apart from the one I need

Very odd, what version of iDrive do you have? I'm sure the CIC version wouldn't show POIs if Traffic was enabled. I've just tried mine and I can get POIs to display no probs on the Traffic Info Map and the standard map with Traffic Events showing also so it's not that anyway, but if you have the CIC iDrive maybe that's the problem?

Also under the "Display Points of Interest" menu (selected from presing the Option button whilst in Map view) I don't see All, None or All Selected as you pointed out, just "All" and "Selected", not sure if that's relevant?

[matt@stratford]

All sorted. I think I had been looking so hard I totally missed the "Display Points of Interest" I was expecting it to have a option list below and not when you select it.

Thanks for the help
