| Posted by caesar Custom POI Unable to load to Garmin 3790t Help ! My computer is a Mac. I have successfully downloaded , installed and verified Safety Cameras from this site using the provided Garmin POI Loader. However, I am unable to successfully install a Custom POI to my Garmin. This is the procedure I followed: Equipment is Garmin 3790t /Mac Computer /Garmin POI Loader I selected an arbitrary address close by 65 Yallambee Road Jindalee 4074 Australia using the site POI Manager. I then verified the co-ordinates and MAP position and saved the file as a GPX file which appeared in my Download file. I transferred this to Finder and then to my Garmin/Safety file which was previously used to download the RedLight etc files on this site. Using the POI LOader I attempted a download to my Garmin. The download indicated success but the POI does not appear in the Garmin. I used CSV / GPX / GPXx in later saves but the addition is still not there. The following is the POI Manager file generated. This POI file was generated by GDT POI Manager - http://www.gps-data-team.com/ 152.9422992 -27.5367916 65 Yallambee Road Jindalee 4074 Australia Please advise what I must do to achieve loading this Custom POI. |
| Posted by mpearson POI's Have the same problem with my 3760 but got it working today. In the navigation menu go to proximity points. Check the custom POI and press save. I noted the box unchecked itself when returning to the previous menu after pressing save. I tried this a few times and finally on the menu alerts was "enabled" Seems to be registering the alerts now. If you work out how to get the school zone icons to show on the map let me know. I get an alert but the bmp icon does not appear - frustrating when the wife's tomtom works like a charm. |
| Posted by mpearson Custom POIs This was working during the week, however when I updated the POIs trobles returned. I have a 3760 not 3760T. Have downloaded the latest POI loader. Confirms POI's loaded to device, when I then check device via explorer poi.gpi file initially shows at 538kb. On disconnecting the unit custom POI category is unable to be selected from proximity points menu, only option is Garmin Safety Camera's? When I reconnect device back to PC and look in the POI folder via explorer the poi.gpi is is in the POI folder BUT the file shows at 0kb ? Done this many times now with no success. Did you get it working? |

| Posted by mpearson Garmin 3790T You are not alone - I have been frustrated by this issue for weeks. Garmin support is of no help. Garmin suggest the gpx file I was trying to update was "incorrectly formatted". I have started downloading the csv files and have more but mixed success. |
| Posted by bgtee Garmin 3790T I would have thought that with such complaints from yourself and me and probably many other customers, they would have fixed the problem by now. I mean, I wrote and tell them that the 760 works perfectly as it should. So surely, only a matter of taking that part of the software from 760 and put it into the 3790T to resolve this bug? Anyway, at least it works with my method so far. But I do hope they resolve this issue because I don't necessary want their latest software which can cause problems. I had that experience with my 760 in the past. Works perfectly until I update to latest software and the 760 started to freeze up on me. So had to reverse the update back to the old software and still working perfectly. One of the main reason I bought the 3790T is for its lane guidance ability. Otherwise, I must say my trusty 760 is still the best. |
| Posted by mpearson Garmin 3790T Interstingly Garmin support inform me they have had no other complaints about POI's not loading correctly and that I must have a faulty unit ... Took the first one back inside the 2 week window offerred by Dick Smith and got an exchange. The new unit, within a month of purchase, now refuses to reboot, it just caughts in a loop and continually powers off. This unit is being replaced by Garmin tomorrow so I'll then be on my third ... The wife's tom tom is looking better every day. |
