POI Loader

 

when I launch POI Loader 273 it tells me to uninstall (same page) which I have to, when I launch it again it re-installs and I can use it only once. I have to go thru this every time.
Has anyone else experience this or have a remedy?

no need

There is no need to do the uninstall as POILoader will overwrite the existing GPI file. In fact, running the uninstall option can have consequences of deleting other needed files as the option deletes all files with a GPI extension.

The only way that it works is to uninstall and re-install. Does anyone have an older POI Loader 272 for PC, I would like to try it I have reinstall POI Loader 273 many times I get the same results. Uninstall re-install.

273 works fine here on W7

273 works fine here on W7 PRO that is up-to-date on maintenance.

I never get lost, but I do explore new territory every now and then.

Here's my guess

You've downloaded the installation package from Garmin's site, a single exe file called POILoaderforWindows_273.exe and run it, which is correct.

I think now that rather than running the installed POILoader.exe program, you are re-running the POILoaderforWindows_273.exe installation package. Is this possible?

I can see how this could occur if you download the installation package to your desktop so it appears on the screen as an icon.

Try this. Go to your Windows Start Menu and scroll down to the Gs and click the Garmin folder, then click POILoader. That should run POI Loader as often as you need it.

If that's the fix, delete the POILoaderforWindows_273.exe on your desktop and either go through the start menu to run the program or copy the POILoader from the start menu to the desktop for quicker access.

Good luck and shout back with questions or results.
