Points of Interest (POI)

The Magellan Maestro has POIs preloaded that can be used as a destination for a route. Selecting a
restaurant or finding an ATM nearby is at your fingertips.

Categories and Subcategories

POIs are categorized into unique categories from gas stations to wineries. Most, but not all categories
are further organized into subcategories. Restaurants have, for example, 16 subcategories that
provide a way to search for restaurants serving Chinese food, or fast food, and even Swiss food.
