The other day I needed to look for a petrol station that close to me when I was in a strange location so I went to search via the Columbus sat nav but discovered that the menu option for POI is greyed out so I was unable to use that menu? Has anyone else come across that and if so what did you do to cure it?

Update on the missing POI data, this week I discovered a company selling map update CD's, I purchased one, installed it and now not only do I have the latest maps but also all the POI have restored so I once again search for the nearest garage, bank etc when in a strange location.
