I recently purchased a DriveSmart 66 and downloaded my POIs with sound and icons but they are not showing up or announcing on the GPS. The POIs worked on my old GPS, a Nuvi 3597. Is there anything more I need to do to make this work. Thank you.
Did you use POILoader or
Did you use POILoader or just copy them to the new unit?
You need to use PoiLoader to get them into protected memory.

Did you install the sox.exe file for sound? http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25730 You also may want to review icon info from Garmin support https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=X45EhivYpo1PCKVM1cgME7... also https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=LKoH1l1Tqa1QoA12ky1Yh7... and https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=gg7bxAR4OT0hVzlZFklyC8...

POI's
Have you checked the "Custom POI" box under driver's assistance/proximity alerts?
POIloader
Yes, I used POI loader and had sox.exe in the file folder. I will try again and put them in manually next time.
Custom POI
no, I did not. are you referring to the SmartDrive 66 itself or on the computer when I am adding the POIs.
Custom POI box
Is this on the GPS itself? I will check the next time I am in the car.
