Hi all, Can anyone tell me is there a way of adding a place that is not listed on my i3?
I want to add a place called smugglers creek which is a wee place in Co. Donegal Ireland called Rossnowlagh, near ballyshannon.

the only way i can think of is to use a program called mapsource which comes bundled with metroguide software..(not free !)...you find the place you want on the maps make a waypoint and download it to the i3...or actually go to the place and mark it on the i3 favorites....

thanks zogman...... I didnt relise that if you were in a particular spot you could add that location and name it and then save it to your favorites.
I'm I right in thinking that is the case??
Also is there any free software out there that I could try adding a location that you know off?

Many thanks,

Paul

To add a place, hold the scroll whell in and it will save to favourites, you then name it.

Another possible way would be to create a POI file with the co-odinates in and navigate by using custom points.

If you download some POI files from MaFt's site and open the CSV files you can see the format.

You could then get co-ordinates from mapsource?...and create your own CSV POI file.
