Nuvi 760 - POI Format   

Nuvi 760 - POI Format

Postby naviboy » Fri Mar 09, 2018 7:44 pm

Trying to set-up my sons Garmin for Canada and UK, where I normally use my TomTom.

Wanting to download various POI's for Red light camera's, Petrol stations, Supermarkets and many more.

But looking on 'GPS POI File' website for Garmin, there are several formats ie: Garmin POI BMP, Garmin POI CSV, and Garmin POI GPX to display when nearby etc as on TomTom.

Which one should be used for the nuvi 760.

thanks
TomTom One XL - 5.5128 BL - 9.541 SE NC - UK + ROI 1105_11755 & Canada-Alaska_1130_12304 4GB SD Card

Garmin have the proprietary format - gpi! You can generate GPI from Garmin POI BMP, Garmin POI CSV, and Garmin POI GPX with free Garmin POILoader app or try to find free GPI or unlock the best official database.
