Default Orchids and your GPS

I gave a Garmin Quest, and it does have a variety of "points of interest"
built into the map software.

Al's Orchid Greenhouse is there, as is Cooper Design Group, just east.

I wonder where the GPS would lead her if she had typed in pizza ??? Or
any
other word for that matter. I have On Star in my vehicle, and it can't
lead me to any orchids.

Okay, so this lady drops by my greenhouse this afternoon and told me she

from Baltimore and was driving through the DC area and while on the road
she
typed "orchids" into her GPS system of her car and it told her where my
greenhouse was and then led her to me. She did not apparently type the
name of my business into her GPS, because she did not set out to come
here.
Is that weird or what?

Does anybody else have a GPS system in their car that will do this? Can
you
explain better how it works. It can't be connected to a phone book
because
I am not in a phone book.
