updating current files on my garmin

 

I have installed many POI's onto my garmin using the POI loader. I know there have been updates to this files since loading, but I have never updated any of them. What is the best way?
thanks in advance

Keep POI files in the same place

Always keep all your POI files in the same folder and subfolders on the PC. When you run POI Loader, browse to that location.

To update, download the POI file from POI Factory and save it in the same folder with the old file. The filename of the old and new files should be the same. A popup will ask if you want to replace the old file. Click "yes."

When you have downloaded all the update files, run POI Loader again and all the old POIs will be overwritten in the nuvi.

Great advice! The only addition I'll make is that if MrKenFL's RestAreasCombined is one of your updates, you'll need to manually delete the older file from your POI folder, assuming you download the file with the default filename--and that if you have custom sounds or icons for RestAreasCombined, their filenames will also need to be renamed.
