On Google maps, it's as easy as looking up coffee shop A and pressing go ... Any way I can emulate that on the Garmin to navigate to that specific location ? I have the edge 530
Short answer is, yes, you can emulate that.
Long answer is: yes, you can emulate it. There are two ways. (1) If your Garmin has the POI database loaded. Select Navigation -> Search -> POI categories -> , drilling into the thing you're looking for, but be advised it will be slow, the device is simply not optimized for making this a seamless and fast process. (2) Use Google maps, get a street address, and select Navigation -> Search -> Address, follow the prompts and enter the info, and get a route. The 2nd method is much faster, despite the extra steps.
Key here is "emulation." It is not integrated like a google search and mapping on your phone. But, it can be done.
