POI Loader for W7?

 
Sat, 10/31/2009 - 10:58am

Our Vista Laptop got really confused, and I eventually started over, and now am running W7 64 bit OS...

How will that affect POI Loading, and is there a new loader for W7? The version I have is: 2.5.3.0

Thanks..

I just found V2.5.4

I just found V2.5.4 Poiloader

Any W7 64 bit issues with that?

Thanks!

I have 3

I have three computers running Windows 7 (all 32 bit) and there have been no issues with POIloader. In my case they are all running the latest version but the update from .3 to .4 wasn't to do with Windows 7 so either version should work fine.

Look at me!! I'm a beta tester!

I just tried V2.5.4 POILoader with W7 64 bit....
It worked Fine.... Deleting POI's, and Installing them.

Windows 7 and Poi Loader

Just upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and installed POI Loader on my system v2.5.4. I have been writing POI files for 2 years and have never had this happen before. The POI Loader states that the uploads are successful but the files never shows up on the GPS. I have even tried to delete all of the custom POI files and it shows successful but the files are still there. I am using the Zumo 550. I contacted Garmin and they are working on the problem. As soon as I know something, I will let everyone know.

This problem has been solved. The write permissions on the folder had to be changed.
