Creating POI files

I have many POI that I use often, but not updated.

My question is: how do update thesse POI?

Step by step please

I know how to create new GPX but i dont know how to update an old POI

This is a longshot, but here goes. Is there anything in the GPX file format (or Garmin's extensions) that would cause POIs to render on the map above the myopic 0.5mi level of zoom?

Is there any way i can take one item off of a POI file and download it instead of the entire contents of the file? Thanks. John

I work for a company that is a vendor for CostCo and I just received a master copy of all of their costco stores (US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan, Taiwan, UK). It is in excel format. Can someone assist in what would be helpful or needed to get it together?

It has store name, store address, city, state, zip, phone number as well as some other information (probably not needed).

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
