Hi, The POI name has nothing to do with it.  If your set to the correct
POI as your destination, the Lat/Lon of the POI is used for location
information.

My best guess is the speed the bus is traveling..
When it announces the destination prompt, what is the distance and
direction you get when pressing D?
Thanks
Chris
