Have you tried the POI download page to see what's there

You may need a converter for your unit

That link is dated now.

Have you tried the POIs at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=POIs

Under category Attraction, sub-category Theme Park.

I tried that and according to my sat nav its in the sea or something (map shows just blue). i tell it to make a route and it says unknown destination.

I've just tried the POI File and Alton Towers takes me to the Car Park entrance.

Which file format are you downloading?

Is it the only POI category you're downloading?

Have you tried the Show Link Option?

How do i do this.????

Navmans own site states that custom POI uploads can only be done on the Navman S50 and up. Not the Navman S30.

Custom POI
S30 NO
S50 YES
S80 YES
S90i YES

SO IF THIS IS THE CASE, MY ORIGINAL QUESTION STILL STANDS.
ANYONE KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD CUSTOM POI's ONTO A NAVMAN S30?
