installing custom pois and updateing questions

 

I just had a Kenwood ddx814 with a kna-g510 for navigation installed in my vehicle on friday.. How do i find out which version of firmware unit has? I am not able to get my custom pois that i have installed in my 760 to install in my g510 unit just says them over and over,I tried sd card and usb drive with the same results. It appears I am doing something wrong.
Help with this would be appreciated!
Thanks

I looked up the owners

I looked up the owners manual for the kna-g510 http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/KNAG510_OwnersManual.pdf and on page 39 it instructs you to load your custom pois to a sd card using poiloader.You should use the same folder layout as the 760 for installing the custom pois.Put sd card in card reader and run poiloader and select the card.When you put the card in the kna-g510 you will get message prompting you to save them to the navigation system and you must answer yes.Once installed you will find them where to,my locations and touch custom pois.

for information on maps etc just touch settings,about and select the category you want information for.

When you load them to your

When you load them to your gps they will overwrite the ones you already have on it.You have to set the all the folders and files up on your computer and load them all at one time.I will be glad and well as others on site to help you through this.

Edit.Here is the setup.

Making poifiles the easy way.

1.Make a folder on your computer and give it a name. Example My poi's.
2.Download the csv or gpx file and put them in that folder.
3.If you want to add a bmp . Download from site and also add to the same folder but make sure you name them the same as the file you want them to go with except the extensions.

>My pois=Main Folder
>>Dunkin Donuts.csv
>>Dunkin Donuts.bmp
>>Walmart.csv
>>Walmart.bmp

4.Hook the gps up to computer using usb cable and then run poiloader. Select My pois folder.
5.If you want alerts use manual mode instead of express.
6.You should get message so many pois are loaded at the end of the download.
7.On GPS go to where to then extras and touch custom pois and you should see them.
8.Every time you run poiloader it will overwrite the existing files.
