Creating a TourGuide File

 

How do I make an existing POI file a "TourGuide" file. Is it as simple as adding "TourGuide" somewhere in the file name?

Yes, it is

Put it (TourGuide) at the beginning, or at the end of the file name.

You must have all associated files the same.

Mr. Ken is right on the money ... all three files (poi, icon and sound) have to have the exact same name with TourGuide (spelled exactly like Mr. Ken and I did, with same upper and lower case).

Then you have to use the "manual" mode on POILOADER to set a "distance setting" in feet. 5200 is a mile. I use 1300, 2600 and sometimes 10,400 to set a circumference for each respective TourGuide

Adding TourGuide at the beginning makes it hard to see the file description. I find it best to add TourGuide at the end of the file name, like MrKenFl has shown.
