This would be extremely handy for us especially if all those POIs were loaded and we just had to get them to show up at no additional map curation on our part.
There's a large POI database in the watch, I think it only comes preloaded on the Epix and maybe the sapphire versions of the Fenix? It isn't hard to load them on other models, but it's time consuming.
I have some care giver duties today for an aging family member, since this appears to be the most important thing for you I can follow a route tomorrow and get some pictures for you.
