adding POIs

You need to go to Garmin.com and download and install their POI loader. Put all the POI files you download from poi-factory in the same place so you can find them when the POI loader asks you to choose the files to add to your 750. This might sound overly simple, but it really is quite easy. Give it a shot.

Larry, welcome to the site.

Read through the 'getting started' and 'faqs' sections linked at the top of each page. Those sections will provide you with TONS of information.

Here's the basic procedure for loading Custom POIs.

Download and install Garmin's POI Loader onto your computer in order to LOAD Custom POI files onto your GPS unit.

http://www8.garmin.com/products/poiloader/

Then create a folder on your computer for your Custom POI files.

Click on the POIs tab at the top of each page to find the Custom POI files listed on this site.

Download and/or create whatever Custom POI files you want to load onto your GPS unit and place ALL of them in that folder and keep them there.

Attach your GPS unit to your computer with a USB cable. (Alternately, if you have a unit that will read the Custom POIs from the SD card, attach or insert the SD card to the computer.)

Run the POI Loader program that you installed to your computer and follow the prompts.

Select your GPS unit (or SD card if applicable) as the destination for the Custom POIs in the POI Loader screen. Use the drop down arrow if necessary.

When it asks for the location of the data, Select 'Browse ...' and navigate to the appropriate folder.

Select Manual or Express Mode using the drop down list. (Express Mode will set alerts based upon the data in the files. Manual Mode will allow you to set the alert information manually, if desired.)

If you select Manual instead of Express, you can set Proximity and Speed alerts for your POIs.

Follow the prompts.

Express Mode will load you files and present you with a Finish screen indicating how many POIs were loaded.

Manual Mode will present you with each POI file you have in your folder giving you the opportunity to skip loading that file, and to set or change the speed or proximity alert information. At the end Manual Mode will also present you with a Finish screen indicating how many POIs were loaded.

POI Loader will create a file in the destination you chose named POI.GPI with all your Custom POIs.

The Custom POIs will be found on your GPS unit by going to Where to? > Extras > Custom POIs.

adding files

Thanks for the replys. I am not very good with these things. My wife and I are retired and we bought this so we could travel a little, to see our son and daughter. I tried the mapquest because my sons add. was not in the 750 and when I corrected it, it still shows me the wrong way on the 750. At my age I think a map works better but our eyes just don't see as good as they once did. When I tried the sams thing it stuck it in Microsoft Word. and now I can't find it. Boy getting old is rough at times. Again thanks for your help and God bless.
