Old Info Erased

 

Yesterday I downloaded POI Loader and tried to install POI files.

Today I do not have any of my previous info nor the new.

What happened and how do I fix??

It erases the original

Every time you run Poi Loader it will remove the custom poi's that were there. It will install the new poi's in there place. They are combined in a poi.gpi file. The custom poi's are found in extras/custom pois.

Question: Why won't my unit acquire satellites?

Answer:
As GPS units are used, data is gathered which helps them acquire satellites quickly at the start of each use. If a device is used daily it should be able to acquire satellites in a minute or less. Using a GPS device while it is outdoors with a clear view of the entire sky is the ideal condition for acquiring satellites. Please know that there can be several different factors that may cause a GPS unit to not acquire satellites:

If your unit is trying to acquire satellites for the first time, it may take longer than normal to establish an initial position. If the unit is powered on and outdoors with a clear view of the sky this should not take more than 3-5 minutes.
If your unit has not been used for an extended period of time (more than a month), it may take 3-5 minutes to acquire satellites.
If your unit is indoors, it may not acquire satellites. Even standing next to a window indoors will block a majority of the sky which is needed for a device to locate and lock onto a satellite signal.
If you have just finished updating the software in your unit or you have performed a master reset, your unit may take 3-5 minutes to acquire while outdoors as the data that is used to locate satellites may have been erased.
If your unit has traveled over 500 miles while turned off or not tracking your travel, it may take 3-5 minutes to acquire even in ideal conditions.
If your vehicle has a protective coating on its windshield or electronic devices which interfere with the unit receiving signal, your unit may need an external antenna* in order to acquire satellites.
If you suspect this to be an issue, try taking the unit outside of the vehicle with a clear view of the sky for 3-5 minutes so that the unit can acquire satellites. If your unit loses satellites once moved back into your vehicle you will most likely need an external antenna*.
If your unit is still having trouble acquiring satellites, please ensure that it has the latest version of operating software by using our WebUpdater program. Once your unit is updated please allow the unit to acquire satellites outdoors in a stationary position with a clear view of the sky.

*Note: Some units may not be compatible with an external antenna. Please check the Products tab on the external antenna's page to see if your unit is listed.

Question: How can I locate the Satellite page on my Nuvi?

Answer:
To locate the Satellite page on your Nuvi please perform the following:

Turn your unit on
Press and Hold the Satellite bar in the top left hand corner of the device for 5 to 10 seconds
Note: Nuvi 300 and 600 only require you to touch the Satellite bar to bring the page up
The Satellite page will show the Satellites that you are currently locked onto. It will also show the unit’s accuracy, Speed, Elevation and your current location.
