Load new POI

 

Pls. tell me how to load new POI without loosing old POI. Thanks question

You Can't

When you load a POI file, it will overwrite whatever in already on the gps.

If you still have the current poi file, load it along with the new file. In other words, place both files in the the directory and run POI loader.

Use a folder and leave everything in it!

Ya, the best way to do Custom POIs is to create a Custom POI folder where you put your POIs into. After you "sync" them to the unit, LEAVE THEM THERE. When you find or create new POIs just add them to your master folder. When you resync, all the old ones will still be there along with the new ones.

Another tip, for anyone with a large SD card in their Garmins that is mostly empty, copy your Custom POI folder from your computer onto the SD card as a backup and a way to always have it with you just in case you want to make a change to your custom POI file when away from your main computer. For that matter, you can also put the Custom POI Loader software installed on there as well. Unfortunately no way to store a spare USB cable in the SD card.
