Creating POI files

Hi I am getting ready for a trip this week and I downloaded the Illinois Tollway Oasises
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/19987
And the Illinois Tollway Tolls + Chicago Skyway with toll booth detail
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/30554

I made a .wav file for each at http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php after down loading on my hard drive I renamed the files

Oasis.cvs

I tranferred redlight files (.csv) to my unit for intersections located in my local area, just for testing the procedure. Poi Loader option to remove all poi files does not remove these redlight alerts from my unit.
What am I missing?

I've tried loading the West Marine POI file for Garmin here a couple of times and it just won't go. All the other custom POI files will load fine, but not that one.

Can someone help me out or take a look at that file to figure out what's wrong?

I travel all over the state of Florida to fish and that POI will come in very handy for me in finding those tackle and boating supply stores.

As a poi contributor, it just occurred to me if I should bear responsibility should some particular coordinates be kind of way off the mark. As any other contributor knows, it would be almost impossible to verify each and every location, specially if we're talking about hundreds, if not thousands of them.

I'd like to speed my data capture from highlight, copy and paste of 60 url page screens to be a batch save process on a Win7 PC.

Do you know of a program that will help?

A sample URL is:

Thanks,

FYI ...
When I download the http://www.poi-factory.com/node/2661 file It stops in the middle of the Zippo Lighter Visitors center on line 6067. I am just placing a quote there to close column 4 but I don't have the complete POI. There should also be another 5 POIs after this.

Any thoughts?

Is there a program that will take a GPX file & turn it into a xls file or spreadsheet?

hi iam trying to load poi on my garmin

the poi are loading on to the garmin but the go button
is mising i have a garmin 1310.

hello, anyone know how to add voice alerts to the 2535 m.?

Hi everyone,

is there an easy/convenient way to build POI files with Excell and then save them for load into the GPS?

Just curious. When uploading and sharing poi files that you created, why do we have to email the icons to photos@poi-factory.com instead of just including them with the csv or gpx files?

I have a Nuvi 2460LMT and have been trying to upload some of the great POI files I've found here. The folder I created has a mix of GPX and CSV files, when I use the Garmin POI Loader it hangs up at around 29%.

... without using the Panoramio website? What's the easiest method you've found?

I don't like the way Panoramio pictures are so small.

Can anyone tell me why the Grainger Industrial Supply USA POI file won't show up when doing a search for 'Grainger'?

There were no changes in the file but I did just resubmit it to see if it would show up but it still doesn't show.

I downloaded about 150 POI files to my Garmin Nuvi 5000 in the last two days and almost all worked very well. I did run into some files with fatal errors however that need attnetion. I could not load these due to errors:

A&W Resturants
Kaiser
Worlds Best Truck Stops
Food City
Southwest Campgrounds

Hello, All!

I'm fairly new to adding POI's to may Garmin Nuvi 265. When I load several POI lists to my Garmin as separate CSV files (e.g., Cracker Barrel, Drury Inn, NFL stadiums, etc.), do I have to specifically choose a POI list on my Nuvi for them to show-up, or does the Nuvi automatically show all of my POI's?

Good Morning All:

Question: How do you add an icon to an excel poi file that you have created so it automaticly is included when the file is downloaded? Thanks for all the help you all have given me over the years!

Regards,

Norm

can you put poi's on this gps??

I posted the POI "Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments (CSV Format)" at http://www.poi-factory.com/node/32279 on 02/14/2011, but when I'm logged out, the page says "Access denied. You are not authorized to access this page."

Is anyone else able to access the POI "Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments (CSV Format)" page?
