Deleting POIs

 

I was going to update the Walmart POI but can't seem to find it on my 255W.

I connect the garmin to my pc and opened the garmin but cannot find the Walmart file. I went ahead and downloaded the Walmart POI and now have two of them on it.

Also some of my other ones are not showing up anywhere on the garmin.

What am I missing?

Deleting POIs

Are you using POI loader to load your poi's? It will ask if you want to remove remove pois. You also need to look in where to, extra's and the custom poi's. There are a number of good instructions on how to creat and delete poi's in the FAQ section.

Yes I used the POI loader.

Yes I used the POI loader. I didn't tick the "remove old pois".

Will read the FAQs and see if I can find something.

I open my garmin on my pc

I open my garmin on my pc and saved the POIs to my pc.

Then I went in and when checked the "delete all poi files" and disconnected my garmin. Scrolled to the Extras/POI and got the message that there was no data available. Went back and reloaded the pois I had copied to my pc. Reopened the Garmin and the double walmart and Target(which doesn't show up when I open the garmin on my pc) were all back.

Go figure.

Still trying to figure out where they are hiding out.

My unual persistence paid

After giving up two or three times I was setting here looking at my POIs and noticed one of them that should have been the smallest had over 1200KB in it.

I took that one off my Garmin and the double WalMart and the Target one went away.

Somehow when loading them with the POI Loader it combined three of them together in one file titled "Buc-ees". I might have left the default "Download" name there instead of naming it while loading it is the only thing I can figure.

Thanks for responding. Maybe this will help somebody else out later.
