Loading POI's to a Nuvi 50LM

 

I have a Nuvi 50LM. When I try to load a POI file it shows on my computer as having been loaded, but when I power up the GPS I can not find them. This model does not have a port for a SD Card. Is it not possible to load files to the GPS's internal memory.

It sounds like you are not using POI Loader. If not, then look at

They should show up under

They should show up under extras.
There is a slot for a micro SD card on the side of the unit. I have one installed but so far there is nothing on it as the internal memory has handled both the maps and custom POI files.
Are you using POI loader?
