Wed, 10/17/2012 - 7:31am

I searched and could not find how to load the rest area csv file to my garmin. I purchased a 2590 and will receive it today. Any help on loading the csv file to a garmin would be appreciated.

Thanks Again

See http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25721 for custom pois. You will need wav and sox.exe for getting voice alerts for that model.Welcome to Poi Factory.

Make sure when you add these files they all have the same name, only the extension changes IE:
RestAreasCombined(Ver.AY).csv
RestAreasCombined(Ver.AY).bmp
RestAreasCombined(Ver.AY).wav

If you d/l the sound file you will need to convert it to wav for it to work on your unit

The Bmp is here

Put all this in a directory called Rest Areas or a name of your choice. Load poi loader and point it to where the files are. Give it a shot. We will be here if you need more help
