New to the Site and need help installing POIS to my Garmin DElz770

 

Hey

I'm new to the site and was wondering if someone could explain the process of putting a POI file onto my Garmin Delz 770? I use a Windows computer if that helps. Oh i also drive for Schneider dedicated.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Process is simple..

Make a new file folder on your computer. Place it on the Desktop might be easiest to find later when you want to add or update POI files.
Then just download all the POI files you want to upload to your garmin into that folder. Assuming you have installed POI Loader once you have all the POI files in the folder you want to upload just open the poi loader program and follow the easy process.

POI loader can be found here: https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=927

If you want to add icons with the POI file I would make up a file folder within the primary POI folder. Then the icon, sound and poi are all in one place. You just have to make sure you have all files named exactly the same.

Good luck!

Most all the members will tell you to make a backup of your GPS so if something happens you will have your files available. This video may help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv0w8lNNHYg .

And here I am saying BACKUP and ....

Welcome to the site.

We usually recommend the following.

There is a "Learn" button in the upper right of this page next to "red light cameras" that takes you to a Getting Started page. 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 "Learn" 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.

Note that the Learn Button will give you access to two valuable reference pages -
the "Index" to all of the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and the Glossary of Terms and Links.

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

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). It also assures that you put your (newer) unit into a state where you can see all of the folders there.
