Garmin talk

Is there a way, using POI Loader on a Garming 1490 LMT, to update POIs without losing any existing POIs?
If they must be replaced, is there a way to back them up, and reintroduce them upon updating?

Thanks!

Anyone taking a trip to Jamaica, Im please to inform you that that there is JAMNAV for garmin nuvi. The map can be purchase from projects.monagis.com/jamnav/. Works pretty well (no address search, poi search instead).

I own a nuvi 855, my question is can I down load a trip created in a trip planning software like Trailer Life Campground Navigator?

Thanks for your time

just recieved email amazon having 1 day sale on gps.

I understand the format. The directions state that the notepad can be used so that's what I used. I removed the .txt appendage that MS automatically adds thus leaving just the .cvs file extension. Since my simple effort wouldn't work, I copied and pasted one of the examples. The POILoader still tells me there are no data files in the directory.

Hornbyp's guide to setting alerts with POI Loader (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/1631) is excellent. For Speed alerts, is there a way to only have the alerts when the vehicle speed is exceeding the speed limit (when the speed limit is available?)

how to install
I would like to learn how to install a PO L. file into my GPS which is a Garmin 1490t
I do know how to update my GPS what I would like to learn is how to install and fine the file that I downloaded to my GPS the files that I would like to install and add a icon to
restaurants
gas station I do a lot of RVing

I have downloaded the POI, created download folders and csv and gpx files. When I try to upload to my nuvi 1350 all files are grey and not accessible in the POI. Please advise.

I loaded several cvs files and one gpx file to my nuvi 765. Everything was in one directory. All the cvs files show up as custom POIs however the GPX file, Florida Wildlife Management Areas, is nowhere to be found. Am I not doing something that I should be doing?

I am a first time user of a GPS unit. I just acquired a Garmin 255W unit. I have it set on "Faster Time" as the Route Preference. I was wondering why it consistently draws the suggested route on a route that are on smaller roads that I know from previous experience that are not the "faster route".

This makes me question how accurate the "Faster Time" setting is on this device.

The POI Loader has always worked fine until today. When I click run for WinZip Self_Exractor I get an error.

Garmin nüvi 295W 3.5-Inch Widescreen Wi-Fi Only $62.99 Today on Amazon Gold Box deal of the day with free shipping.

We have two of these and love them. Uses WIFI for email, web browsing and Google live search. This is a steal

anyone know where i can get discounted map updates for a nuvi? i still cant believe they cost as much as they do. i havent updated my maps since i got it about 2 years ago and id like to at least get the 2010 maps.

i think its almost wrong to allow drivers to drive with the wrong maps.

I've been unplugging my Garmin 855 from the accessory socket to help my car battery to recharge after it drained enough in six days of non-use to need a jump.

Is there any significant differences between the 2011.20 USA maps and the 2011.31 USA maps????????

Hi. I'm new to this site and have just acquired a new Garmon 1490 LMT. For years I have been using a Garmin Quest so the changes in technology are many. I am open to any advice regarding this unit including the best POI's to download. Glad to have found this site and I look forward to learning and sharing.

I own a Garmin 1390T.

I do know why my favorites are not staying deleted, but I am sure what I should due to fix the problem.

I am importing waypoints (favorites) to my 1390T using Google Maps or Microsoft Streets an Trips.
Each Waypoint gets a "gpxfile-number.gpx" file downloaded to the 1390T and is placed in the devices "GPX" folder.

I'm a bit confused about the Red Light & Speed Camera POI's
I downloaded here. I know how to install them on my Garmin but the usage is a bit vague. If I don't know were a Red light or Speed Camera is located how do I know which to use.

Pleas bare with me as this is my first GPS and don't know how POI's would work as I travel to various places.

Thanks in Advance

I made a copy of my POIs on SD for a friend with a 255. His unit has a screen that comes up everytime he powers up his unit asking him if he wants the data copied to memory. My zumo had a checkbox to click that said "only ask this once" or something similiar. Can this screen be eliminated?

How do I link an icon to a POI file?

Thanks!
