Using NUVI 885, I loaded several POI files, red light, speed camera, McDonalds, Walmart & Rest stops. Everything loads into the garmin, but I can only see (Extras/Custom POIs) the red light and speed camera POI's. The POI loader does shows the points have added. Anybody have a suggestion as to what the problem is?
Did you click on CUSTOM POIs
Did you click on CUSTOM POIs - it's a button? Your file names should show up (without the extension).
Select a file and the 50 closest POIs will display or you can use SPELL.

Yes, I select CUSTOM POIs
Yes, I select CUSTOM POIs and then all I see is: All Categories; Redlight-Camera; Speed-Cameras. I tried adding different files several times. All files are in one folder on my PC and the files are from this website. Doesn't make sense... does it?
you need to do a reset before the new POI's will appear
After you load the new custom POI's on the 885t you need to do a reset cold restart before the new POI's will appear.
You can either hold the power switch in the off position for 10 seconds or remove the battery and then reinstall it.
You will not loose any other settings with the reset other than the voice will default back to Jill. You need to do this each time you load new POI's.
