Got myself a 250 to replace my I3.

As a subscriber, I'd like to keep both topical with the latest cams and other POIs (will lend the I3 to people like my dad !).

Is there software I can use to keep both up to date ? The 250 software seems incompatible with the I3 ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response.

On my old PC, it wouldnt recognise the I3... however tried on my new laptop and it's fine.

Another question though if I may - does the I3 take the camera zoned file ?

Seems to boot up then crash now - back to the drawing board....

there is a limit on the i3 of about 84 poi files. do you have any other pois installed as well as the speed cameras?

if so then this could be your problem. if it's an old i3 with maps etc on memory card then you can, using a card reader, delete the poi.gpi file from the GARMIN directory.

Yup - got some stuff from MaFt on there..... Embarassed

It is the old type with the 256 card in it.

Will have a tweak tonight - reduce the number of folders.

Hi,

Have deleted the offending file from the Garmin subdirectory.

I3 now works Laughing

Many thanks for your help.
