Hello,

I'm new to this forum and new to Garmin GPS.
I show that there are different downloads for POI.
1. GPX - with Garmin extension (phone dial support)
2. Garmin CSV - regular line breaks
3. Garmin CSV - nuvi 350/360 line breaks
4. Garmin CSV - no line breaks (easier to import)

Not sure which one to donwload? Sorry if this has been asked before as I could not find it.

Thanks,

Thanimai

Hi,

I have a Nuvi 350 and a Nuvi 260.

You would probably want the GPX since the address will be in small font below the POI.All the others you will need to click the POI to see the address.

That said not all files will be gpx. Your next best choice is regular line breaks or no line breaks depending which you prefer.

You don't want the Nuvi 350/360 line breaks since you have a nuvi2XX series.

This should probably be in the FAQ.
