I have just downloaded some french poi s they are kml,the instructions (in french) say (i think) to put the kml files in iGO8 :
../content/Userdata/poi
I have /content/poi but no /content/Userdata/poi do i make this folder and put them in there ???

Thank you.

Try it, What's the worst that can happen? Obviously backup first though.

Tried it and it didnt work.I am sure I read you can put kml poi in a igo8,perhaps its me.

I know you can but i don't use poi's much so have never tried.

If I manage to sort it out I will let you know.

Blimey I may just be starting to crack this igo system here is the answer to my original question
POI

1. Turn off the write protection of the Memory Card.

2. Connect the memory card or the navigation device to PC, then create the following path on the memory card: in content folderadd 2 more folders userdata/POI.

3. Download, unzip and copy the the downloaded .kml files to the above poi folder.

4. Restart your navigation device.

5. Run the navigation software and swich to Advanced mode. Choose the Manage POI icon.

6. Choose downloaded POIs (kml file); then choose Edit and set the distance of POI icon visibility. The default icon is Google Earth's globe.

7. In the Navigation menu choose Find POI, and choose as Destination.

Note: some POIs might not be reachable on the map, if the map is not detailed enough.
