Garmin Dash Cam - POI's?

 
Mon, 08/05/2019 - 11:12am

I have a Nuvi and use POI loader to load up POI's from here but I was thinking of getting a Garmin Dash Cam and noticed it shows RLC's etc. using Garmin Express. Does anyone know if the POI's from here would work on that unit or only some proprietary thing from Garmin only? In other words, would POI Loader work with that unit?

Not sure if I want to get the unit yet or not (especially due to some reviews regarding heat issues) but I wanted to research it a little bit more to see if anyone had some insight into those units.

Thanks.

Well, we know that Garmin

Well, we know that Garmin quote is half wrong.
TourGuide can be used with WAV files.

YMMV

Thanks again. Would never have known this. The manual for the unit makes no reference at all to POI Loader. Only GE.
