Does installing POI's from SD card replace or add to my current ones

 

If I have POI's loaded on my Nuvi, and want to update them via an SD card, will they replace the existing ones, or just add to whatever's there?
thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean. Custom POI will not change any of the factory installed POI, and if you have custom POI installed on the unit and the SD card, they both will be read. Any update to the custom files will overwrite the old custom POI information.

If ypu have not renamed the poi file in the Garmin GPS, then when you accept the offer to load POIs from the SD card they will overwrite the poi file in the GPS and current POIs will be lost. However. any time that you load POIs you can rename the file to something else with the same extension. The gps will find those other POI files based on the extension and show all POIs. These alternately named files are never overwritten when new POIs are loaded. This gives you a good technique to manage POIs and not need to reload everything when you load a new POI file.

That's great!

It has to be noted we are talking about the CUSTOM POI not the factory installed that are overwritten and updated with a new load using POI Loader.
