Adding POIs

 

Hi all,
I just bought the Garmin 265WT. I have been trying to find and add new POIs. The two I'm trying to find are Minter Gardens and Buchart Gardens B.C. Cananda. Buchart Gardens are in Victoria B.C. and Minter Gardens are jus East of Chilliwack, B.C. I would appreciate any and all help. If you haven't been to thease gardens they are beautiful. Minter Gardens is a smaller garden then Buchart but just as beautiful.
These two locations were not in my POIs.

Butchart Gardens / Minter Gardens

Where To, Near, A Different City, "Victoria, BC", Points of Interest, Spell Name, Butchart

Unfortunately, Minter Gardens is not in the built-in POIs, and neither is thier address on Bunker Road. To navigate there, use Where To, Coordinates, Format, "h ddd.ddddd", OK, N 49.183363,W 121.766505, Next, Go

The directions page of their website is:

POIs

Thanks for your help. I found Butchart Gardens. I was able to fine Minter gardens by using address icon and following prompts and entering address then saving it to favorite and adding it to my attractions. The coordinates worked also but didn't actually give me and address. Not sure how you found those coordinates but that was cool. Thanks again.

You're welcome, vcaito! I used Google Maps and the Send to GPS feature to get the coordinates.

I didn't find 52892 Bunker Rd because the Minter Gardens website says it's in Rosedale, BC (which turns out to be the postal address). The nuvi has Bunker Rd listed in Fraser Valley, BC smile

Also, I mistakenly searched the 2009 map. There is a Minter Gardens POI in the 2010.10 map. smile :)
