I've got the MicroSD card, actually. You're correct: the card does have POI info! I'd forgotten about it because I never use it; the interface to the POI database is a bit clunky. If the POI you want is nearby you can select it from a list, which works pretty well. If you need to search for something specific, I've found it to be a bit hit-or-miss...mostly "miss". The small screen on the 705 makes the whole POI interface a bit clunky. It'll probably save you in a pinch, but I don't like to rely on it...
