Custom POIs on SD Card

 

I have loaded my Custom POIs on my 260W's SD card only(not into the Units main memory). Will the 260W see and list these Custom POIs as I travel without me going to Settings,Extras and Clicking the "Custom POIs" tab? For example I have loaded the Custom POI for "Rest Areas" on the SD card. If I plot a trip will the "Rest Area" show up on the Map as I travel on Interstate?

It is hard to see the icons unless you set an alert. You set alerts by running POI Loader in manual mode and setting the distance at which you want the alert to sound -- you will then get a red bar and a default bong at the distance you choose (I recommend at least a mile).

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

yes

Any poi file properly loaded via poi loader, will act the same as if it were loaded to the units internal memory.
