Hi
I don't have a Windows machine any more - I'm using Ubuntu (14.04)
As far as I can tell, this means I can no longer update my Garmin Nuvi with the speed camera database, since Garmin's POI loader is only available for Windows and Mac.

I've tried Wine on Ubuntu to run the Garmin POI loader, with no luck. It starts, but the screens are messed up, etc. I've not really got Wine to run anything apart from Notepad, to be honest!

Does anyone know of another way to get the speed camera data onto the Garmin Nuvi (an old 710, if that matters)?

Thanks
Mark

I don't think you will via the route your looking at.

POILoader takes CSV or GPX files, merges them with BMP and WAV files and creates a single .GPI file that the Garmin understands.
