Adding custom POI's nuvi 205

 
Sat, 01/15/2011 - 10:37am

Hi, just got this unit and am having a play with it. I wamt to load up some custom POIs, and am wondering if there is a tutorial somewhere that covers this. I've got the Garmin POI loader and I can drag and drop files via explorer on my PC.

Do the POI files go into the POI directory on the garmin? If so, can I load them up into separate folders EG poi\walmart poi\specials poi\whatever?

Thanks.

If you want separate folders or categories see http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25721 .Voice alerts will require sox.exe and wav files.
