| Posted by van Newbie with a new Garmin 3590LMT - POI Formats I just purchased a new Garmin 3590LMT prior to taking a holiday to Europe after many years waiting. So I have started to look into speed camera and tourist related POIs. I have searched many threads to try to understand the different Garmin formats without coming to a conclusion. Which POI format should I download ? GPX ? Or is there any benefit in downloading POIs in more than one format ? Thanks for any advice on this. |
| Posted by johmazz2006 POI formats The gpx files have the most information available. You also need the mp3 files for sound and the bmp files for image data. All 3 files have to have the same filename with the different extension. You will also need a program called POI Loader, available from Garmin. |
| Posted by van Re: POI formats Thanks johna. I'm on my way up the curve. Garmin did not provide for an easy start. |
