| Posted by jarpenner Save anywhere You can save them anywhere on your PC or external drives for future use. I recommend that you create a folder called Garmin. Within that folder I would create three additional folders called: Garmin GPX Garmin POI BMP Garmin WAV (This f for Nuvi 2xx models) Garmin MP3 (This is for newer models) Now when you download a POI (.gpx), save it to Garmin GPX. Save the .bmp file in the Garmin POI BMP forlder and finally save your .wav or .mp3 file in either Garmin WAV or Garmin MP3. It is importatnt to keep your .gpx files all together. If you don't, each time you load a new POI, it will erase the previously installed one. You need to install them all at once. To install the POI's you need to use POILoader, which is available on this site. In some cases you may need to download the "sox.exe" file and place into the same folder as your POILoader.exe file. God luck. |

To find POI's that you just loaded on your Garmin, look in your extra's tab then POI CUSTOM tab then you will see all that has been loaded. If you touch each on then they will come up on screen .. :D |

| Posted by gnproducts How do you save POI Do both the csv and gpx files need to be loaded into the Garmin for it to work correctly? |

No, you only need to download ONE of the two files. I read on this forum that the preferred order of data files is - 1. Garmin GPX or 2. Garmin POI or 3. Garmin POI GPX or 4. CSV |
