Forced new computer

 
Wed, 12/21/2016 - 9:41pm

I have a new computer with Win 10. I am having to install everything of importance once again. Did go through GE to install most recent maps and all went OK as well as Basecamp. Now, went to install POI loader and the install showed a 2013 version. Is that correct? I had thought I had printed out the steps to get the POIs into my garmin, but not the case. I went through the 'learn' tab but couldn't grasp it. Any ideas?

Mac

This is great info for windows.

Is there a similar site for Mac based computers?

Some kind of step by step guide would be great.

Thanks Cy

Sorry to hear you have to

Sorry to hear you have to use Windows 10.

If I had to use Windows 10 - I'd use it as little as possible, and do everything personal and financial on an Ubuntu Linux computer.

The MAC version has been available for many years.
