Help - POI Loader will not load WAV files

 

Need some help, I downloaded the latest Garmin POI Loader and then up dated some of my POI's. The loader will not load WAV files and does not convert WAVs tp MP3s. My Garmin 1340 does not accept MP3s.
Is it possible to download the earlier version of the POI Loader and where do I go to get It?

Sox.exe

Do you have sox.exe in the "x:\Program Files\Garmin\POILoader folder?

I don't think

I don't think POIloader ever did the MP3 to Wav conversion. You'll need some other software program to do that.

If you have a csv or gpx file with the POIs in it and the wav file with exactly the same name as the POI file except for the extension, then POIloader should take those 2 files and create a poi.gpi file on your Nuvi.

Where did your PoiLoader go?

I just updated to PoiLoader to 2.7.0 and it did not end up in x:/programfiles/Garmin/PoiLoader but in an quite another place. Just a random folder.
Funny.

.

Did you auto-update from your existing POI loader, or do a manual install?

I auto-updated from 2.6.1and the folder did not change (C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\POI Loader\)

I did a manual, as the Auto did not work.
