VIAMICHELIN
Your ViaMichelin portable GPS device has in its memory several thousands of addresses that you can display on
your card or identify to plan a route. These addresses, called POIs – Points Of Interest – are places with a specific
feature that allows identifying and searching them. These could a hotel, a restaurant, a car park, a service
station, a bakery, a hair salon, an amusement park or a museum, for example.
Your ViaMichelin portable GPS device is equipped with an exclusive offer of nearly 70,000 Points Of Interest
from the Michelin guides – tourism sites from the Green Guide, hotels and restaurants from the MICHELIN
Guide®, and a selection of useful addresses (service stations, car parks, flower shops, bakeries, etc.).
The addresses from the Michelin guides and the useful addresses are exclusive and are accompanied by a
description and can be selected with a multicriteria search.
