Turning off POI symbols

[Moose]

How do I selectively turn off/hide the icon symbols of items that I am not interested in? My TomTom units had a menu page for that.

I wondered the same thing cos I've no interest in seeing every petrol station (etc) on or near my route
But it would appear nobody knows

Have you tried reading the manual?

Look under settings/ proximity points

RTFM is not helpful - as all it says is Customising the Map Layers | Select the layers to include on the map. The choice is Places along the road, and that seems to turn off everything - not selectively (like TomTom manages).

Proximity Alerts: Sets the type of proximity points for which alerts are played.
I have a choice of Garmin Safety Camera, so does not apply.

It might have helped if you had told us you have looked n the manual in the first place! I wonder if changing the level of map detail helps. Could you say which sort of ions are causing you distress?

I'll try that tonight, cheers

It sounds like that's what I want
I don't see the point in having all sorts of stuff (petrol stations, fast food joints) on the screen all the time.
If I need fuel I can do a search


Now I just need to figure how I can get the maps that I wiped the other day back on the thing
Mapsource & a Quest was soooo much easier....

Try going into: Settings, Map & Vehicle, Map Layers and then uncheck "Places along the road

some one beat me to it

Just carry on using Mapsource

First time I connected N5 to Mapsource it didn't want to know
But I saw your comment elsewhere about leaving it in mass storage mode so I'll have to try that....

Volume screen, press top right corner and you get a whole range of options. Works on all the later Garmins
