Rees Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Please, can anyone explain how I can access/use POIs after I have downloaded the listings using Garmin POI loader? 1. Do specific items get shown as little icons on the main screen as I travel or; 2. do I always have to click on WHERE TO?/EXTRAS/CUSTOM POIs to find locally available services etc, e.g. Tesco stores and ASDA. Are there any POIs that show CLs and similar small sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 have you downloaded to an SD card or direct to unit? I believe its best to leave mapping as is and use an SD card. custom POI's normally only show when you have moved to that location and then select as you say: where to > Extras > custom POI you can look at custom POI any time by dragging map to area you want to look at - then press SET LOCATION on task bar > then as above.... If you are interested, send me your email address by PM and I will send you compressed files of all AIRES for France and Europe. plus ACSI campsites and a few other groups..... you need to create a "garmin" folder on your desktop. then unzip all the files and put relevant files in folder. then download "POI LOADER" from garmin site. then load via that once installed.... I think you already know how to do this. every time you want to add a new group > add them to PC folder then download complete folder content to SDcard/or unit. as every time you add POI to unit it overwrites whats there......

Herri Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 http://www.poihandler.com/ is the site. You have to register (free) but they have loads of stuff. You choose your SATNAV, then the location (UK) then Caravan Club, then what type of site (CL etc). Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rees Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks for the information. I found POIHANLER. com especially useful and have downloaded all that I creently need. However, it seems that PoiEdit seems to be not available at present. Try later?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
