Changing Custom POI display in a 650

 

Hello- Recently I purchased a NUVI650 and I just started adding POI's. Does anyone know if you can change the header/title "Custom POIs" that appear. I would like to creat a title that states what the POIs are ie: Trails, lakes, etc...
Thanks

I don't think you can change the title of the first page under Extras. But you can put folders into Custom POI's and the names of those folders will appear after you get past the first page.

Thanks! Would I add folders

Thanks! Would I add folders via my computer and download to my 650 or directly in my Garmin? I printed the whole manual and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Yes you would make the folders on your computer and use POI Loader to transfer to your gps using the usb connector. See

You create the folder on your computer. Create a main folder for your Custom POI files. You can have subfolders under your main folder, if you want. The folders will create categories. You can't have more than one level of subfolder. The files themselves will create the subcategory.

When you run POI Loader, you will select the main folder as the source of the data.

For example, it might look like this.

> My POI (Main folder)
>> IHOP (subfolder)
... IHOP.csv
... IHOP.bmp
>> National Parks (subfolder)
... National Parks.gpx
... National Monuments.gpx
... National Recreation areas.gpx
... National Parks.bmp
... National Monuments.bmp
etc.

In this example, IHOP and National Parks show up as categories and then under National Parks, the subcategories of National Parks, National Monuments, and National Recreation Areas show up.

Here are some screenshots of what it would look like.

This is a shot of the folder and files on my computer.

This is how the first level shows up on my GPS unit.

When I select the National Parks category, this is what I get.

Then if I select National Monuments, I get this.
