"Food and Drink" gone from POI Menu in 2027.1

[technoguppy]

I was updating my 2026 summer plans to the East Coast of Canada this summer and low and behold Garmin has gone and done it again!!

When North America NT 2026.3 is the map selected in BaseCamp, I can choose "Food and Drink" as a category under POI. When using the 2027.1 version the choice is gone, further still it is not found in any other place other than ALL POINTS of INTEREST. What PITA!!! Seems others are also gone like Auto Services, Community, Bank/ATM, maybe others. Thanks Garmin, really client focused as always.

Anyone else or anyone have an explanation?

POI subcategory loss is due to a corrupted ProductDataCache. This can be fixed by deleting the ProductDataCache directory allowing it to be rebuilt. Basecamp will do the rebuild automatically. Note: I prefer to rename it until it has been successfully recreated.
Do the deletion with Basecamp shut down. Start Basecamp and then confirm that the missing POI subcategories now exist. Delete the renamed the ProductDataCache directory if you chose to rename it.

The ProductDataCache directory is located in: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Garmin\BaseCamp\

I have those categories in CNNA NT 2027.1, so try @Peobody's fix

I checked mine and they were missing.
Rebuilt the .bin file per @Peobody's solution, and all is good now.

FYI, there will be a .bin file for each map version installed, so you will have to match the install date of the map to the creation date of the .bin file to make sure you have the correct file.

Perfect solution! That did it. No fuss no muss, and now I am back in business.

Thanks @Peobody very succinct, extremely timely.
