Depends on the device/firmware.
My GPSMap 60CSx only shows this POIs, which are part of the index
and not in special ranges. Searching for POIs is very fast.

My GPSMap 62s shows always all POIs, and searching for POIs is
always slow. I need to do a reset after updating the maps to have
the search useable. My impression is, it does not use the index at
all.
