the old poi generate/folders sure was better!
I own a Garmin 1350t and began the search/research to generate poi's into folders/categories
Posing a question here was somewhat helpful but for me did not solve the poi problem.

POI’s On A Memory Card.
POI’s On A Memory Card.
I opted to create several (6) gpi POI’s on my Garmin Nuvi 260 mini SD card rather than one huge single file. It is easier for me to work with and upgrade the files that way.

Uploading a gpi to POI factory?
I have a couple of gpi files for over night dry camping with an RV on the Alaskan Hwy that I have made for my Garmin. They work well.
Can a gpi format be uploaded to this site or only gpx and csv formats?
With gpi no need for anyone to have to use POI factory but rather just move the gpi file over to their Garmin, POi directory.

Lost POI file on Nuvi 660
I may have deleted the POI file in the Garmin POI folder. the folder indicates empty. When I try to open Extra folder on Nuvi 660 screen, no POI menu appears. When updating the POI Loader indicates update complete. Reinstalling the latest software using WebUpDater does not return a POI file to the folder. How can I fix this mistake?

Hi
I have a bunch of things saved into google my maps. they are in 3 groups. each group has numerous entries, like maybe a hundred. I can download the group to google earth and click on each entry to view properties. but when I try to create the .kml file in google earth it opens in POIEdit as an empty file.

Have prob with Custom POI file and how it displays in Garmin nuvi 775
Hi everyone -
I'm new to this (building POI files) but have it mostly figured out.
One thing seems not to be working for me.
I have a .csv file with a series of locations (gas stations).
This is a single line of my file (I have ~1200 locations/lines all told)
-123.742911,46.972616,”OLYMPIC HWY GROC”,”4601 OLYMPIC HWY, ABERDEEN, WA 98520-6924, 000-000-0000”

No Speaking Alerts on Nuvi 1490T
I have a Nuvi 1490T. I just get a tone when approaching a Red Light. I called Garmin and she said all new Nuvi's come that way now. Is this true, I'm so disappointed because I like the speaking voice to let me know when I get close to red light cameras, rest areas and speed traps.

NUVI 255W-No alerts for POIs
I've been struggling all week, trying to get my NUVI 255W to produce the alert sound for anything. I've uploaded .csv and .gpx format, named the mp3 and bmp files the same as the .csv or .gpx, verified the proximity setting is on (tried single and continuous).

Reporting wrong coordinates?
I've been searching (perhaps with the wrong terms) but I couldn't find a form or post indicating how to report a wrong or absent location in a poi file. Sorry if this has been posted before, but couldn't find it in search.

GPX or CSV? Confused
I have diligently searched the discussion archives but haven't found a direct answer on this: As a total POI newbie, who will not be doing any file EDITING, should I be putting GPX or CSV versions of POI's on my 1490T when there is a choice?
Thanks in advance.
