Customer POI on 3590LMT

 
Wed, 11/06/2013 - 5:07pm

I created POI files: Redlight.gpi and Speed.gpi.

I installed them on my Garmin Nuvi 3590LMT GPS. (I can see them on the device \.SYSTEM\POI folder.)

When I go to Settings > Proximity Alerts > Alerts, I can see only one entry - "Customer POIs".

I'd like to be able to enable/disable different POIs selectively (such as restaurants, gas stations, etc.). How do I get multiple entries showing up on GPS?

Thank you very much!

Welcome

Welcome to the site.

There is a Getting Started button in the upper right of this page right under POI Files. It is worthwhile visiting this page.

To make navigation easy, most browsers provide the following option. When you want to follow a link - but still keep your current page open - you can hold down the "Ctrl" key as you left-click on a link. That action will open a new "Tab" in your browser up on the "Tab" bar. When you then left-click on that new "Tab", you will follow the link - leaving the "Tab" you are now reading open and available to click on and return here.

So, using the "Getting Started" link, you might try the "Ctrl" - left-click sequence and then return here. You can return by either "X-ing" out of the "Getting Started" page (using the "X" on the "Tab" itself) or just left-clicking on the "Tab" for the page you are on right now.

Since you are new here, I encourage you to go through a couple of the Beginner Education FAQs.

The first link makes sure the settings on your computer are such that you can do more advanced POI loading.

The next link helps you make a backup of your GPS by attaching it to your computer. (NEVER do anything to your GPS until you have a backup)

Now, I am not sure what you are asking for in the sense of
enable/disable different POIs selectively. You have Custom POIs, period. You can turn on or off the "Alerts" for Custom POIs but you cannot do so selectively.

You can make your Custom POIs show up in categories, to make it easier for you to find a specific type POI. There is a good FAQ on this at
How do you set up and load custom POIs with or without categories.

Once again, welcome

Sorry for the

Sorry for the confusion.

Here's what I'm looking at "Alerts". https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NX6SwqsVV1c/Unq22MjT-UI/A...

I saw two entries there:

- Garmin Safety Cameras
- Custom POIs

I was wondering if we could have more than two entries there such as:

- Red Light
- Speed Trap
- Road Hazard
- etc.

Thanks!

Would be nice, but No.
