How do I get the poi icons to show on my maps?

Do you have highest map detail set?

Also go to (this for Windows, mac may differ) Edit, Options, Activity profile and click on Display Options to ensure the options you need are selected.

As SUSSAMB mentions, you should set your map detail level to highest on the map bar at the bottom of the map and the you'll need to zoom to .5mi scale to start seeing the POI icons.

Thanks for the reply. I have the slide for detail all the way to the right and zoomed to where the map scale show .5 MI. or less. I do not have an "options" available on the Edit pull down. I do have a View option which has "show selected data on map" and from there I can get a list of items to be checked or not. None of the icons show, checkd boxes or blank boxes. So, any other ideas?

The first question we should have asked in which map are you using? The default global map has very few POIs. Does find find POIs?

Map used.

I'm using City Navigator North America 2013.4.

Well as posted if map detail is set to highest and you zoom in they should be visible provided you've checked the boxes as indicated.

OK. I think it's the "checked boxes" thing. What checked boxes? If I go to BC preferences there is a "Display" option with a box that has a bar saying "Hide Map Features..." and beneath that is a statement "Hiding some map features". If I click that bar there is a list which includes Points on it. Underneath that one item is "Food and Drink" and I have checked that box. For another item "Attractions" I have put a check for only "Park/Garden" which puts a dash in the box for Attractions.

If I open "Maps" at the top it shows "Installed Map Info" which indicates the maps I have - City Navigator 2013.4 and 2014.3. If I click on "Installed POI Info" nothing is displayed. Should I have a POI File and if so how do I get it?

Sorry to be a nag but this is frustrating since it was working and I have not idea what happened.

Thanks
