Creating POI files

I noticed that the CICI's pizza USA is missing Ohio and PA. I have created a file for each of those states in gpx format.
I used geepeeex, which by the way is an excellent program. But I am having trouble getting the data in to the acceptable 4 column csv format.
Can we upload the gpx?
Can this data be integrated with the Cici's USA file?

For Starbucks junkies in the Tampa Bay area.....This is a 24 Hour Store.

I just created a new POI Icon that i would like to use with one of the CSV files that i downloaded from this site (which has no icon). I saved it as 18x24 pixels BMP, with the same name as the csv file it should go with.

Questions:
1. Does it have to be a perfect square or will that shape work?

2. How do I know if it is 256-colors? (I think my defaulted to 24-bit)

I'm wondering who created the GPXtoSPud.exe program.

I would like to contact the author. it seems that I can import GPX files no problem and output SPUD files...the issue is I cannot open my SPUD files to add more speed traps.

I'm not a camera person, those are only parking violations, no points. And with a strobe on the plate you can block the camera if you are motivated.

I am an RF Engineer and I maintain about 280 cell sites in Wisconsin. I have a laptop running Delorme Street Atlas next to me all the time with my cell sites on it but it would sure be nice if I could create a POI set in the Garmin Nuvi 200. It is much easier not to mention safety.

Good morning all,

following the different threads here I have attempted to edit my Custom.gpx file and convert it into a custom POI file.

I first copied the file on my hard disk, then tried using EasyGPS (first), but it kept giving me an error message.

So onto the POIEdit we go. Same thing, but at least this time I was able to save the error message, which is:

I have been Experimenting with bmp and mp3 files. My mp3 files only seem to work when I save them with a (Speed,Redlight etc.)in the file. I have a Dunkin Donut csv file and I only want the the mp3 file to work if I select a Dunkin Donut site from my custom poi file. Is there a way to do this or am I missing something.The bmp files work fine.

Okay... I've gone through MapSource and added a bunch of POI. The show up on the left side of the screen, and I've selected icons for them all.

I save it to a GPX file, and I've tried a GDB file as well - but when I search my POI's, they do not show up.

I have a garmin c340 and latest poi loader and software installed. I downloaded the red light csv file to my documents and I can navigate to it with windows explorer but it doesn't show up when I try to browse to it with the poi software. what's wrong?

how do i find my poi's after i load them. i am going to dc this weekend and loaded all metro stations on my nuvi 200w , where are they?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone out there has managed to get the Garmin XT giving audio proximity alerts with a Nokia N82 phone.
I get the icons I created with no problem, and the POI's load into the 'extras' section ok.
But nothing I try gives an audio alert to proximities.
Please check my earlier appeal to see that I have tried every method advised on here, with no success.

So... following all the steps... the .csv file I download is grayed-out in my Mac finder window. No way to browse to it and select it with the Garmin POI loader for Mac.

I saw this same issue in a search, but beyond me to come up with the answer. Anybody?

Kevin

is there a way to send several found addresses to the gps in one transfer or do i have to do each location separately ?

I have just located the alert sounds (mp3) library,How do I attach one to a existing file. I have a Dunkin Donuts file and would like to include the alert.

Hi,
I'm a newbie to this site, and have so far found it very informative and a useful guide.
I particularly found the information from 'Hornbyp' very useful in understanding the in's & out's of GPX/CSV stuff.
I am ok with computer use, and have used GPS for some 5 years, so the concept of GPS on my phone was welcomed when I bought the Nokia N82-Black last month.

Is there any to delete the information on every 5 lines. Say I want to delete lines 6,11,16,21, etc. I'm current working on the Hyundai file for the USA. Also is there a way to join the 3rd and 4th line with the 2nd line? If you don't understand me maybe this picture would help.

Hi guys. I just finished up creating a custom POI file with all the America First Credit Union locations in Utah.

This was my first POI project...and I learned a lot while doing it, but I made a few mistakes along the way. First of all, I uploaded a version of the finished project yesterday (we'll call it version 0.5), but now that I've gone back and fixed all the errors, I can't find the file here so I can delete it and get the good version uploaded. When I upped it yesterday, it said everything uploaded successfully...sooooo where did it go? :?

I have a StreetPilot 2820. I would like to load POI including proximity alerts and specific comments. E.g. School, distance 1 mi., "pick-up Miky". I expect that as I enter the 1 mi. zone around the school, my unit will sound an alert and will display my reminder.
I would appreciate if a knowlegeable person can send me an example POI file containing the type of information mentioned above.

Does anyone know of any POI for malls, especially in the Pittsburgh, PA and Cleveland, OH area?

Thanks for responding.
