I just received my gla and so I bought a becker nav to go with it. Today it arrived and so I updated to the new maps (released seemingly today for 2015/2016) and as I was playing with the unit I saw that it had a "Zagat categories" in the POI. However they all come out empty, seems they contain no POI's at all. Am I missing something?
Becker map pilot - Zagat poi category always empty

I think it's because Becker hasn't been updating their maps. There's a few people in this thread who has tried the Becker nav system and they say it hasn't been updated since 2013. http://www.glaowners.com/forum/mercedes-benz-gla-general-discussion/7562-becker-map-pilot-bad-they-say.html
The maps just got released. I think they had not since 2013 but now they have maps that are updated. This is all new, I got to download the new maps because I just purchased the unit and it was just activated. I think otherwise the fee is 100 or so.
I don't think they have updated the POIs recently.
I like it just for the speeding notification. I have mine set to let me know when I'm 15 over. Works great in the background without nav "running." Keeps me from being stoopid.
That said, it doesn't have any POIs from the last couple years in my city (Milwaukee), and can't find a **** thing. Also, the uncalibratable voice control hasn't worked a single time for me - so I stopped trying. (Which is your only input method while not in park.)
Good thing I have a solid iPhone mount solution.
