If you find stores are missing, load them through TomTom home, or head to sites like

ScottC:
I am not so sure, that you can't get 20 million businesses in the US on a GPS device.
I have read here
http://home.comcast.net/~ghayman3/garmin.gps/index.html
that I can load the POIs on a (2 or 4 GB) SD unit. Problem might be .. from where to get all the POIs.
I have used POI factory, it's a great source!
However, I don't know what POIs are actually loaded. For example, I loaded:
So. Cal Mountains

"...Now, you can "spell" (once in this POI file) something like 9k to find the really tall peaks, even if they are far away. Actually, 9k lumps all peaks above 8501'...."
Search did NOT work for me
