I'm sorry about that.. Anyhow, although also a bit late now, a useful
trick I discovered when trying to figure this out is to use the GPS
receiver with simulation of auto-routing in demo mode, and possibly
also first setting the current location to be near the POI in question.
It requires a map that supports auto-routing. Even though the process is
somewhat involved, it'll avoid the need to actually visit the POI to be
tested. This at least worked with a Garmin GPSmap 76CSx. (Demo mode can
be enabled in the System Setup menu on 76CSx.)
