| Posted by cord Nuvi POI Files Hi! New to all this... I have a 760 and I am downloading some POI's. Do I down load all three files BMP, CSV and GPX? Do I also download the GPX with the proximity alert if I want that facility? |

| Posted by cord Nuvi 760 POI's Thanks But more Questions am loading with POI's for France and Spain with Roadsafety, Restaurants, Wi-Fi Hotspots etc. I have downloaded the BMP,GPX and where appropriate MP3 files. I then uploaded the mentioned POI's to my Garmin with POILOADER. After all that! were are the POI's? I did something similar with UK POI's and I can find them in the extras menu. I have also saved the the French and Spanish files to the SD card in the Nuvi. Where am I going wrong? |

I use a combination of all the above files depending on what I want to be notified of when I'm driving. For example, it is very irritating to have every store, restaurant, etc. announced when you pass by but can be useful to have the traffic speed traps, cameras, etc. announced. So you may not want to load the mp3 files in some of the folders while you might want to for others. Csv files can be used in some folders and the GPX files can be used in others with or without the bmp or mp3 as you wish. Within the menu of your unit you can turn off the notification of all the POI's as you are driving but can still use the 'go to' function and be directed there by your GPS if you want to go somewhere in particular by searching within your previously loaded personal POI's. Hope this helps. |

| Posted by j.m.quinn POI help ^^^ THanks... makes a little sense to me... I have the Garmin 660, which deletes all old POI's if you try to put in a different folder up POI's... at least for me... So I'm currently redownloading them after one screw up... You only need gpx or csv btw |

| Posted by Guest Only loaded three files - GPX, MP3, BMP I had all four files loaded and found each POI (speed cam / alert ) was duplicated. I deleted the CSV, just added the other three and duplication problem was solved. |
