bigal Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Way2Go - 2010-08-10 9:55 PMWouldn't have a clue I'm afraid, never heard of a Becker.Most of us go for TomTom or Garmin because they are 'mainstream' and you can customise them very easily. You can also get a lot of help on here.Your best bet is to do a search on the internet or email/phone them.Sorry.W2GThanks for the post. The company is Harman/Becker Automotive Systems GmbH - www.becker.de - it covers Great Britain/Ireland/East and West Europe. I have recently bought an up-date from Navtech Holland so perhaps that is the way to go, I have been really pleased with it since I bought it in 2007. If you check the website the info is all there.

scramblers Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 bigal - 2010-08-10 1:20 PM Hello to all you technophobes, I have a Becker 7916 Pro SatNav and would love to add some POIs, Height Restrictions etc info but all the advice seems to centre on Tom-Tom and Garmin. My Becker uses Navtech technology and I just wondered if any of the suggestions on up-dating would be compatible with that system. Being an old fella I am not as au fair with all this new stuff as perhaps I should be although I must say I agree with Moms post above and my Becker has taken us to Poland and points in between very successfully over the last few years, it has also put off the divorce talks which were pending from time to time with the navigator :-D If I wish to know anything regarding the computer I can ask my grandsons, Sat-Navs are a different matter, it aint easy when your daft !! ;-) B-) All SatNavs use POI files with a set file suffix ie .csv or .ov2, etc. Each SatNav manufacturer uses a different suffix. If you can convert one suffix into another suffix then, in theory, you can use any POI file designed for one SatNav to be used by any other manufacturer. POI Edit is a free download which very simply accomplishes this transformation http://www.poiedit.com/ Your grandsons will be able to show you how it works.

Brian Kirby Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Try "Where to", then "Extras", and see what shows there. It is where you will find all your custom POIs, if POI loader has transferred them. It may be that they did not transfer, and that may be because your Nuvi has insufficient memory for them all. On the whole, for this reason, it is preferable to install an SD (or mini SD as appropriate) card to your Nuvi and store POIs on that, as this leave the maximum free memory on the Nuvi. When POI loader identifies your Nuvi, it will also identify an installed SD card and give you the option to save to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 ...as I've just posted a separate "how to" thread on POIs and IGO8 devices, I thought it would make sense to cross-reference it here. http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=28149&posts=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Further to the post above, the instructions in the referenced post point out that this is for IGO8-based devices. Following an exchange of PMs and data, it would appear that the POIs can, with slighlty different editing to that required for IGO8 (but using the same principles), be successfully used for IGO Primo devices also. When I have a little time, I'll update the instructions. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunarmike Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hi Keith Thanks for the quick reply. The link is in your original "downloading ---" post, dated 10 Jan. 2007.

Keithl Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Mike, Well it was 7 years ago!!! And to the day I might add! The OP, Way2Go, is still an active user, although hasn't logged on since just before Christmas, so if you send him a PM (the button below his name on the first post) he may reply to you and let you know if the download is still available.
