Garmin POI Help

On most models, you go to Where to? > Extras > Custom POIs

Folks,

Know any good way to categorize these custom POIs that I load to the Nuvi using the Garmin POI Loader?

For example .. if I load POIs for Starbucks, Rest Areas, Wal-Mart ... anyway I can go to Where To -> Extras -> Custom POI and see categoroes for Starbucks/Rest Areas/Wal-Mart

Thanks.

Find the thread on this website where Motorcycle Mama explains how to use subfolders in your Nuvi.

I think I understand your question. I've just created subfolders for "food" or "car repair" or "sushi" or whatever. That certainly works on my 360. Once you add a ton of POIs, I feel some categorization becomes necessary.

I 'think' you can have only one layer of sub-folders.

this link will explain it

Thanks you djs for the link ... searching on this forum requires a Phd

i know that you have told me before how to get the icons and alerts to work on the c530 by making sure that there named all the same but the ext. in which has to be .csv,.bmp.mp3, here is the kicker i can get all to work but the alerts ? any ideas M/M

thank you for all of the great help

Your GPS unit must have an MP3 player in order for the Custom Alert sounds to work.

Since yours doesn't when you set alerts, you will get the default sound.

that is what i thought!

thanks M/M

have a great night!
