How to Pick a GPS Location by Point of Interest

"Hi, my name is Tony and on behalf of Expert Village, this is "How to Use Your GPS: Basic Edition," of course. Let's go! Chapter Seven: Choosing Your Destination with Points of Interest. This is probably the biggest difference between all GPS systems. Yeah, they may have a couple of extra features that others won't have. But, the biggest thing is "Points of Interest." TomTom, Garman and other manufacturers have the most points of interest. What a point of interest is, is if you are looking for restaurants or a park or anything like that, you simply type that in. So, in this case (again, the TomTom One), what we are going to do is search points of interest. Simply click the screen once. We are going to go to "Navigate To." Click "Points of Interest." And now it's asking me if we want a point of interest that's close to us, in the same city, near my home, along our route or any other destination? So we are going to say a point of interest that is just near us. Now it's asking what kind of point of interest do we want? Do we want a category, a specific category, a restaurant, a shopping center, or company names? We'll pick a restaurant. And just like that, we have all the places that are remotely close to us. So, I want to pick...let's see...we can scroll down. I'm in the mood for Subway today, so I pick "Subway." It asks me again if I need to be there at a specific time? We are just going to click "no" on that. It plans the route. It's a pretty short route; thirteen minutes and about fourteen point four miles. Click "done" and that's it. We are ready to navigate to Subway."
