Locking Garmin Internal POI Folder

Hi All,

I have Garmin 255's, Garmin 1390's and 3760's to contend with.

Does anyone know if there is a way to lock down the POI Folder in the Garmin? I'm trying to make it fool proof so that we only run POIs from the MicroSD card as we're frequently updating the POIs for work. I don't want the data transferred to the internal memory but I'm dealing with operators that think it's a good idea to do this.

I want to make this process as streamline as possible where all we have to do to update all the gps's is to swap the SD Cards during a team meeting.

The other thought is if anyone knows how to disable the "Do you want to load to internal memory" message on the unit.


Thanks very much in advance for any advice!

When you are connected to the GPS, rename your GPI file.
Is it possible to set the folder to ReadOnly? Maybe through properties? Just a guess.
