Hello everyone, I have this problem I'm trying to load .wav files as audio alerts using Garmin POI Loader on a Garmin Nuvi 260 running OSX 10.5 Leopard and the program crashes every time but if I do it without any audio files it loads perfectly.Now I'm not sure if my audio files are 16bit wav files because Im not sure how to do that, but I know they are wav. Do you think this is the problem?

I see several for PC is there one for Mac??

Has anyone been able to print from within Bobcat? I have done a screen capture as a work around, but it seems like I should be able to print from within Bobcat.

Thanks,

Mike

Miss POI,

I wonder if you would do us the favor of again opening the Rest Areas Combined file and re-saving. It has been updated and is again presenting itself with a double extension when downloaded by a Mac user. Thanks.

Hi there,

I've just registered on this forum and I am trying to figure how I can use the POI files listing speed camera (of South Africa) into my GPS and set-up a proximity alert automatically for all of them... only using my mac.

I am using the latest version of Bobcat, and I can easily upload/download WP from/to my unit/mac but when I start POI loader, it does not recognize my unit.

Bobcat 2.0.0.7 - 2.0.0.8 change log

Added:

Added finding partial street names to Find Address
Updated city search to work for "City, State" queries
Fixed:

Fixed issue where some route calculations could hang interminably
Fixed "Displaying results within..." string not updating for empty find results

I ordered my 2009 Update DVD from GPS Central in Calgary and installed it. So far it now has a highway it would not show earlier.

My Nuvi 250 now gives no advance warning on turns. It used to say "Turn left in 300 meters", pause, pause, pause, "Turn left". After the update, it says "Turn left".

Another person started the thread in the Garmin section:

I've have not used a more user unfriendly piece of software in a long time. There is basically no Help to find suggestions in. I want to search for an address and the search box simply won't take an address. I think I've set the 'Find' box right and also the 'near' box but it doesn't let me enter an address in the box after 'containing'.

Well, I'm a new user and I guess I must be having difficulty grasping the concept of unlocking maps, product keys, coupons, etc...

I just downloaded Bobcat and can't zoom into street level detail. Is there something I'm missing? Am I not allowed to do this? I can see my unlock code, but it says "map product not installed." What's up with that.

Hello,

I have posted POI Organizer version 1.1.0

Fixes include:

Reimplemented import of CSV files, should now be more robust. Addded failure info to the alert when an import failes.
Added progress bars to import and export operations.
Optimized many operations - specifically import and export, they should be much faster.

Is there any way to bring a self created .csv file into Bobcat?

I've read about some POI files appending .txt and .xml to the end of the .gpx or .csv extensions on a Mac. When it happened on .csv I just removed the .txt extension and it all worked fine. However, although 20 of the 24 I just installed are .csv, the remaining 4 are .gpx.

A few Mac users have reported that POI Loader is not finding files that were downloaded with recent versions of Safari.

POI Loader seems to work with files that are downloaded with Firefox or received as email attachments.

If you're having troubles transferring POI files that were downloaded with Safari, you may need to download with Firefox instead.

When I plug my Nuvi 200W into the USB cable, it comes back with a warning about an uninitialized drive.

I tell it to ignore and all I see is the SD card get mounted.

When I use disk utility, I see the raw device, but it's file system is some kind of PGP blah blah blah.

Am I missing something?

Hi everyone,
As promised my best buddy Merchon has given me the ok to announce here first the official release of his program POI Organizer.

HI, I'm new to this site. I downloaded the Pass Port America POI and it downloaded as a text file and the Garmin Uploader cannot see it. It shows up grayed out when I use the brouse feature. Any help out there. Terry

I am using the replacement software for Mapsource for Mac call Bobcat(http://www8.garmin.com/macosx/). This post has a couple purposes. The first is to get more people using Bobcat so that Garmin has more feedback. The other is to start discussion about how it works or doesn't work.

Hello:

From what I understand when ever I update my POIs (Red Light Cameras, etc). All of my other POIs have to be reloaded also. I'm thinking when I reload everything I have to manually go back through and reset all alert distance information. Am I right? This is really a pain!

I ordered the 2009 update and mistakenly checked the MAC version. I reordered the correct windows version. I will sell the MAC version for $45.00 shipped to your address. email me at leehurlbutt@hotmail.com.
