such as school zones etc. just wanting know how to create POI or to remove these from my 260W.
Re: Removing custom POI's loaded on my Garmin 260W
Hi
It is more important to know how to add POIs. Here is a simple tip:
1. Create some directory especially for download. I use the following one: C:\Garmin_POI_GPS_DATA_TEAM
2. Download and save all CSV and BMP files to that directory. You may create any subdirectory and use it to save POIs for that category.
I use: C:\Garmin_POI_GPS_DATA_TEAM\Restaurants, C:\Garmin_POI_GPS_DATA_TEAM\Petrol etc.
3. Garmin's POI Loader will find all files in these subfolders and will use them to create a category.
Garmin POI Loader will search through the directory C:\Garmin_POI_GPS_DATA_TEAM and will create/transfer all corresponding POIs to your connected GPS.
4. You can remove any POI file simply by removing it from your POI folder. and re-running the POI Loader software. This POI update procedure takes about 1-2 minutes.
In summary, keep your POI files updated on your PC and run POI Loader to update your GPS or SD card via any SD card reader.
