I have a Garmin Nuvi 2545LMT with UK and Western Europe Maps, Lifetime Map Updates and Traffic Alerts. I accidentally deleted the POI folder recently when I was doing an updating. Could anybody help me to restore the POI folder by sending me a copy of the folder files?

Thanks a lot in advance.

You can just create the folder. What POIs are you missing?

Well if just the safety cameras and with no luck from Garmin no one can replace the files for you. I guess you didn't back up your nuvi then?

However try logging on to the Garmin site. They offer a free trial of camera updates so that should restore the camera files for you.

Dear sussamb,

Thank you very much for your warm hearted replies. You are right, I did not make any backups. I have already tried the free trial. And this mistake was happened just when I planned an update and tried to delete the trial file. There are some other files in the folder which could not be restored by installing a safety camera subscription. I have contacted Garmin but without any solution yet. If I could find any of my friends or colleagues who use the same type navigator, I should have solved the problem by simply copy this folder to mine.

Best regards,

zhongchina

That won't work as camera files like maps are locked to a device.
