Guidance, POI = POO
I have the multimedia package and in POI selection under categories there are no retail stores listed. Ive searched for "pawn shops" category "auto parts" category, "electronics stores", etc. There is one called "shopping centers" or something to that effect that only shows malls and one called "business centers" or something like that and that one only appears to show corporate headquarters.
Also, when I select one of the categories or search by entering the name of the business it either doesnt find anything for very popular businesses like "Carquest" and "Autozone" or it looks for businesses near Tennessee or Maryland, etc. Im in Louisiana. The map clearly shows Im in Louisiana.
Whats going on here?

Ive owned Infiniti, Hummer, Toyota, Ford, Lincoln with factory nav installed and overall Ive found that most of the after market systems are always more up to date in their routing and maps.
Currently I find myself using my IPhone with Motion X GPS in most of the cars Im in. I can program the address as Im walking out to the car and its ready to go. For 4.99 for lifetime use and another few dollars every 2 years to have voice it works great. The voice plays through the radio on bluetooth on my C250, H2,Ford, Jeep and my Harley.
When I was shopping for my C 250, nav was not an option I needed to have and when I found this one with only premium 1 package for $ 26,000 with only 5000 miles and CPO, it was OK that it did not have the factory nav. for the price I paid. For me 90% of my driving (30-40,000 mile a year) is to the same places so nav is really rarely used.
