Not sure about Garmin, but have you tried using the OVI maps? because there's POI's for it too.

Here are some links:

Perhaps you have to describe your problem more...

Something to check for troubleshooting:
1. Did you save the .gpi file in folder POI?
2. Did you see any camera icon on your map after zooming?
3. Did you turn on the audio notification in Tools>Settings>Proximity Points?

Hope this helps...

steps install POI on Garmin XT on N97

Hi,

I have installed the POI into my Nokia N97, and I have tested it, it worked fine.

Firstly, you have to download the .bmp, .csv and .mp3 files
Then you can use the POI loader to get a .gpi file
copy the .gpi file into the 'POI' folder, which is in the 'Garmin' forder.

Hope it helps
