| Posted by mickjode Do large POI files slow down the GPS unit I have the same unit, and recently added about a dozen different sets of POI's, doesnt seem to have slowed the unit down at all. |

The technical answer is "yes" it will slow down the redraw, but will it be enough for you to notice? Not likely, unless you have several icon files clumped close together, like several restaurants in a row, but even then, I doubt you'll notice it. |

| Posted by roadrider01 Re: Do loaded POI files slow operation? One thing you might consider doing is removing from your unit (deleting) all the voices and help files in languages you don't use. I did so and it freed up a substantial amount of room (memory). You can always reload them later if you want to. I have almost 30,000 extra POI's loaded and don't notice much difference in speed. Hope this helps. |

| Posted by syd3 Re: Do loaded POI files slow operation? pjnuk, The poi loader combines all of the poi files in the source directory into a .gpi file. This .gpi file is either loaded directly into your GPS, or you can put it onto an SD card and load the file manually from the SD card, but the GPS will delete all the previous custom poi locations when it imports the new file, so if you wish to keep all your old poi's, you have to make sure that the csv or gpx files for all your old locations are in the one folder along with all the new locations. |
