Nuvi 250 waypoint pics

 

Hey guys

When i transfer POI from mapsource to Nuvi 250, the icon for the waypoint does not get transfered with the POI. The POI is where it is suppose to be but the icon is just the grey dot. I've treid looking for the icon in the GPS somewhere but I just find the default icons.
Is this just not possible?

Thanks

Make sure they are both

Make sure they are both named the same when you put them in the Poi Loader. As in A.CSV and A.BMP

To the OP, you said that you transfered the POI from MapSource. Is that correct? MapSource transfers locations as Waypoints/Favorites not as POIs.

You must use POI Loader to load the Custom POI files from your computer. Then as noted above you need to name the files the same except for the file extension and you need to place them in the same folder on your computer when you load them.

Ok maybe that's what I'm

Ok maybe that's what I'm doing wrong...I found the section on how to load BMP on Garmin on this site. You actually wrote it. I'll use that as a guide.

Thanks again.

Will they load onto a Nuvi

Will they load onto a Nuvi 250 though?

Thanks

I didn't know this and I was wondering how this worked!
Thanks!

Yes

Yes, if you use the POI Loader and if the .bmp has the same file name as the .csv or .gpx file. After you save the .bmp on your PC, rename it the same as the POI file you want it associated with. It has to be in the same folder as the POI file too. I use the outhouse icon for Rest Areas and it works just fine on my 260.

Thanks, I got the POI to transfer with icons.
If I buy an SD card can I install more POI's or is it strictly for maps?

Yes, you can load Custom POIs to the SD card for a nuvi.
