Related to this, the same can be done with custom searches. We can add:

Where To ? -> we can add custom searches, for example "BP gas stations".

We will have direct access to our favorite search, and using the method that @Jfheath said we search on our route.

for example McDonald's, sporting goods stores, favorite coffee shops, and more. I have Repsol gas stations and Decathlon, which I use a lot when I travel around Spain.

all the best.

Also, hidden in plain sight on many screens is a small tear-drop icon in the top left hand corner.

Sometimes it appears as a half banner at the top of the page.

This gives access to - not what it is going to search for, but where it is going to search. eg Where you are now; your active route; a different town.

Click this link. Right click and select if you don't want to leave the current page.

The image shows that when you enter a search, it will show nearby results. This can be changed.
Click the blue highlighted 'Nearby' half-banner at the top to see how this might work.

The small teardrop icon in the top left hand corner of some screens (and is easily missed) performs the same function.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Hello,
After reading the previous posts, I have to say that I had the same problem with my Zumo XT2 constantly restarting last summer. It all happened suddenly, and until then, everything had been fine. However, I have to say that Garmin support was very professional. Within 10 days, after I sent my device in for service, assuming it was still under warranty, they sent me a new model—I repeat, "new"—and in perfect working order, free of charge. I have to thank Garmin for the service they have demonstrated. Thanks, Garmin.

yesterday I came back from a 14 day long trip through Morocco. I kept using Stegra.io to do my tracks and I kept them under 300km.
It worked flawlessly
