Turn on/off POI's

Is it possilbe turn off individual groups of POI's notifications. For instance, I have the safety cameras POI's as well as the McDonald's. I always want to be notified where the safety cameras are, but only want to know where the McDonald's are when I want one? I can only see an option to turn on/off all the POI's.

Turn on/off POI's

I have a Nuvi 760 and it has the same limitations as you describe. Rather than be irritated by every announcement or continual beeping, I deleted the mp3 files on all but the traffic alerts and turned the POI alert function off. When I want to go to a McDonald's, etc. I search for it in the POI's I've loaded and hit the 'go to' button whereupon it will voice guide me to the closest one. Hope this helps.

How about

How about loading a full set to SD card and a more limited permanent set to the device itself. Then leave out the SD normally but when the munchies hit, use the SD version with the extras.

Not really a switch though.

To try, have the extras only on SD and traffic in device and see if you get a merged set.
