Anyone using POIloader with Vista?

Hi,

I've downloaded the Garmin files for my Nuvi 310. I run the POIloader: POI Loader for Windows, Ver. 2.5.3 (10.10 MB)

After running it I get a popup message saying:

"there was a problem transferring your custom POI's to your device Please try running POI loader again".

I'm using vista home premium which is connected to the nuvi by the USB cable. I can use explorer to see what files are on the nuvi, so I have connectivity. POIloader finds the device.

The message tells me nothing, would you have any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks
Dave

POI loader V242 does not work with vista

I used this loader under XP and it transferred all files correctly. So it looks like Garmin doesn't support Vista, at least the home premium version

downloading poi's with vista

you need to download the garmin gsx file to a folder, then connect your gps to your computer using the usb cable. Open the poi folder in your gps and copy the files you downloaded into that folder.
