C 550 POI Downloads

 
Sun, 06/29/2008 - 6:26pm

I have tried to download the traffic light and speed camera POI's in 2 files. When I use the Carmin downloading software I can get the program to download the traffic light file. When I try to download the speed cameras it is downloaded successfully.

Unfortunately one file delets the other. Can you advise me what I am doing incorrectly?

POI Downloads

You have to load all POIs at once. The loading process deletes all previously loaded file(s).

You aren't doing anything wrong -- this is the way POI loader works. You need to load both files at the same time.

Have you you checked out the Garmin Tutorial - Loading POI files with POI Loader http://www.poi-factory.com/node/85

Subfolders
