On the main screen press "Where to?", and then "Food, Hotels...". It will allow you to perform a POI search around your location, or around another location, but I don't think the current version of Garmin Mobile PC can perform a search along your route.

ah, thanks )

POI search along the route seems to be possible.

You are correct. I have to test this feature on Monday to see if it is able to ignore the POIs along the current toad I've already passed, and show me just the ones ahead.

That is right. Unlike some other programs, all of Garmin's navigation programs only consider the part you have not travelled (eg. the part "ahead") as "the route". The part you have already travelled is no longer considered part of the route.
