POI updates

Might you be out of space on your device?

Check out the Nuvi folder in Windows Explorer, check properties and you will see capacity of the folder and the free space.

:D

You need the BMP file for the icon and the WAV (or maybe the MP3 - depending on the model).
Download from the same place you get the POI.
To use the WAV files you will also need SOX.EXE, (found HERE) and you will get the directions as to where to find it and how to use it.
Cheers,

POI Loader - Mac version and Maybe Windows too

It appears to be a problem with the POI Loader loading Custom POI's onto the 3790T.

What I've found is the POI.gpi file gets written but once the GPS is ejected and rebooted it disappears.

Garmin will post an update, which is still to arrive.

The work around I have found is use the current POI loader to create the POI.gpi file on your computer. Don't have it load it on the GPS.

Once you have the file load it on a micro SD card and insert it in the GPS unit.

The GPS should ask you if you want to copy the file for later, answer yes and it should now load it correctly.

Please refer to the other Garmin forum posts about file naming and structure.

Getting Nuvi GPS to recognize custom POI's.

1. Plug your GPS into your computer and wait until it is recognized by the computer.

2. When serching through your GPS folders search for the file named "current.gpx".

3. Place you custom POI's in that folder (provided that that your POI's are also ".gpx").

4. Safely remove your GPS from your computer. Let it completly reboot. You custom PIO's should be in your "Favorites" menu.

Hope this works, It worked for me.

Happy Travels.
