Creating POI files

 

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.

How di I install rest area pois and alerts

I just acquired a Nuvi 255W, and inserted an SD card.

Now, I would like to install the rest areas for several states onto this card. I need someone to tell me how to do it, or to get referred to a source that I may read to learn how.

Many thanks

No problem loading POI in 3790T but are POIs always flat

I used the diners, dumps, dives POI as a test. It loads and I find the POI list under Extras/Custom POIs. My question - Is there a way to have custom POIs show up under categories with an associated icon rather than a long list/flat file? For example, I would like to look under Extras/Custome POIs and see a icon (folder) for Diners and another icon for Fishing and ...

crazy custom POIs

In case this helps anyone having the same problem-

I was having trouble getting all my custom POIs to show up on my garmin, even though I verified the poi.gpi file was updated on the garmin.

Tourguide Question

I have never created or used a tourguide but I'm building the basic poi file that will eventually become my first. I'm understanding the basics, but I haven't found a specific answer to my question, so I'd like a little help.

POI Verifier

It looks as though POI Verifier is no longer available. Is it still a program with functions not found in EPE? I have read what you guys said about it and would like to try it. But can't find it anywhere. I love EPE but you always look for something better. It's hard to beat the price on EPE. LOL

gpx.xml files

I downloaded the Huntington file and cannot get it to load on my Nuvi 660. The file is Huntington National Bank.gpx.xml

No POI Loader output file

Hi everyone,

managing multiple POI files

Can multiple POI files exist on a Garmin unit (nuvi or 60CSx) under different filenames?
IF YES
Would all of them be active at the same time?

OR
How would I load multiple CSV files into one GPI file?
AND
Would I need to RE-create that file every time a CSV file is changed or I want to add a new CSV file to it?

thanks

Can i change Time on School zones

Is there a way to change the TIMES of alerts on school zones because it goes off no matter what time you go past:day or night.Thanks

POIEdit works great

grin POIEdit works great. I downloaded it from http://www.poiedit.com/

The best part is the check box during the install that allows you to install it as a portable app!!

I have a TomTom and the conversion and editing in POIEdit is easy and quick.

Bug in POILoader 254?

I successfully ran POILoader on my XP/pro.sp3 laptop (although I haven't been able to get GHayman's MyHome POI sample to work yet).

I am trying the same thing using my Windows 7/64 bit PC but keep getting an error msg saying Windows cannot find c:\Garmin\sox.exe.

Navigation Systems in Toyota's

Well I had the misfortune of having to purchase a new car which is nice but the other car was paid for..My question since it came with a nice navigation system, and no I have not read the 500 page manual yet, is there a way to upgrade the POI's like my Garmin, I know you can update the maps, I want to know if you can upgrade the POI's.
Any help in this matter will be appreciated.

TourGuide radius plus speed alert

I have modified a School Zone file to fit my needs by removing (historical) locations and adding and/or fine tuning the coordinates for all schools in the Bentonville, AR School Dist. I also saved it as Schools_SouthEast_TourGuide with a radius of 800 feet. Not wanting to leave well enough alone, I would like to add one more thing.

Loosing the "I" or 9th column in CSV

I use EPE and have converted an XLS file to an "M" column CSV. When I open it everything is there. When I load it on my Garmin the "I" "comments" column disappears.

BMP File Management and Initial Download

Hello all !

What characters are invalid (or valid if that's easier) in POI CSV filenames?

I originally posted the question here: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29790 but it may have been the wrong place to ask it.

Thanks,
Travis

POI Duplicate Finder-Remover

Did a search, and did not find anything mentioned about this, but the other night, while surfing the Net, I found this free program that removes duplicate POIs.
