That is where NaviCore or whatever it is called would probably shine. But, in the videos of this program, it's too dang slow to find any POI's. My older Pocket PC/GPS combo with Mapopolis (now out of the consumer level business) gave me tons of configurable options for road detail, zooming, POI's for a great price. It seems using the Nokia N810 and its mapping solution is a downgrade.
The POI problem has been resolved in OS2008. It now default opens with a list within approx. 50 miles to the displayed map location. In the Navicore version it would search and attempt to load every POI location if you didn't specify a proximity first.

POI's now are quite useful on the thing.
