Needing more space for my POIs, I bought a 2gig SD card for my c530. Using POI Loader, I downloaded several POIs through the USB cable to the card in the c530. Everything went OK with a "successfully loaded" message at the end. I see the new files on the SD from explorer. But, when I access "Extras" in the Garmin, it only sees the old POIs that are installed internally. It does not see any files on the card. Any suggestions?
You Had To Have Done Something Wrong...
Hi, I have a c530 and have installed many POI's on my 2G SD card and never had a problem. Now I am assuming you have used Garmins POI loader. Now make sure that you have chosen the SD card as were you want the POI's to go. On my computer its the F drive and the Garmin unit would be the E drive. After choosing the SD card drive as your destination and after a succesful download the POI's you have downloaded should show up on the Garmin unit under EXTRAS, make sure you are choosing EXTRAS not the place were the internal POI's are located. Internal POI's are not in EXTRAS. GOOD LUCK!

SD Card
When you explore the card what files do you see? You should see one file in the garmin/poi folder named poi.gpi.
