I can confirm this problems. Not all POI numbers are working (correctly
or at all) when you are using typ-files. Mapsource and the devices are
behaving a little bit differently, but both show strange effects. Sadly
this is also true for some of the numbers which are used for the POI
searches.

So at the moment I choose a better map display instead of the POI search
and stay with the numbers I know to work correctly: 0x40??, 0x41??,
0x50??, 0x51??, 0x60??, 0x61??
