My new 1435 with a recently updated map does not show any local theaters. A search of POIs both (near) and within the city only shows theaters in Pensacola 40 miles away. Any ideas?

A reflection of how poor the built in poi file really is for most categories.

Here are some sources on the net to find custom ones:

Thanks dhn. I would assume I load these on a SD card and then load them on the VIA. I can't seem to find that sort of guidance in any of my scant instructions???? Strange that I would have 100's of local restaurants, stores, and gas stations but NO movies for miles around. Is it possible I have some corrupted files?

When you connect the Via to the computer, the desktop's MyTT will have a new menu option 'Add Community Content'. One section is poi files. You search for the file(s) on your computer and upload them to the Via.
