POI file with Images for each location?

 

This is my second day on this site and trying to learn how to create a pio file. I am considering creating a file that is basically a contact list with names, address from a database, but I would also like to include an image for each locaiton/persons home address with some information on them, but from what I have read I'm not sure this is possible.

I dont think I want any alert on this information (but may change my mind). However I do want to be able to search for the contacts which it appears I can do in the garmin 265WT.

I have read about PIO vs tourguide but if I read this right, PIO cant have an image associated with it, but tourguide can, but it then is a tour rather than a routing option to find the contact.

Again, I am new so I may not be grasping this correctly can anyone point me in the right direction if this is possible to do?

thanks!

You can use gpx files for

You can use gpx files for what you want.Download Extra Poi Editor at http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/Extra_POI_Editor .You can input your data and under Tour Guide info you will see link.Use that to link to the image.

A lot of information in this thread that will help you http://www.poi-factory.com/node/21156

The 265 will not play mp3's so if you plan to have voice alerts you will need to use wav files with a sox.exe file placed in your Garmin folder on the computer.
