well - POI's will be already in your maps.. so in otherwords, you don't need to do anything -- when you come across a route that has, say, a Gas station, McDonalds, supermarket, bank, etc.... those 'stores' will appear as small little icons on your route.
the idea being you could then see them, and click them to display what they are (it should bring up the name and phone number)...

problem i had with Garmin, is you had to be zoomed WAY in, for the POI's to show up.. and for some odd reason, i simply could not click the POI icon, while in route, to get anything to display.. maybe user error though, not sure..

you can of course select your destination to BE an actual POI. so if you wanted to drive to a park, or beach, or a dry cleaners, select the applicable POI from the destination menu..

it's really pretty simple just experiment with your zoom levels, until you see some POI's display for you.
