Garmin POI question

Tue Apr 05, 2011 8:42 pm

Obviously even another mod can have a question. :p I'm ashamed to say that my maps for my WinCE 5.0 Garmin Mobile XT are a couple of years old. I use my iGO navs pretty exclusively. When I want to update my iGO POIs all I have to do put the new file in the content\poi sub-folder. Maps aren't touched at all. They have their own sub-folder. Now I want to update my Garmin POIs. How do I do that? Thanks.

EDIT: I'm interested in the US States from Maine to Florida to include Pennsylvania

Some POIs is integrated in map, but garmin use also POI folder \Garmin\poi where you put all poi files if you have some one....

Thanks Pietu. Here's what I did. I downloaded the latest NA unlocked img. maps you had in your map section and put them into my Garmin folder. They work fine and I do see new POIs. But now you also have me interested in the POI sets. Your example is Australia [actually it looks like Europe] but is there one for NA?

I think garmin safety cams is only free in NA (not cyclops)
you can found some POIs from internet site like this one

No, I know that site and actually the map POIs should be just fine - thanks my friend. You can mark this thread solved.
