The poi.gpi file is just the Custom POIs you downloaded and installed yourself. It doesn't normally exist on any Garmin device out of the factory.

Can you not just re-download the files and recreate the poi.gpi file with POILoader?

i cant install any poi's at all and the poi folder is not on the sd card anymore so i not got even the preset poi.s that came with my i3

So what DO you have on the unit?

Apart from the POIs does it work normally?

The unit seems to work fine its just not got any poi's,which i used to rely on for fuel/accomadation when travelling etc

So what files DO you have on the unit?

Did you try making the POI Folder as i suggested above?

What do you see if you try to Navigate to a POI? You'll need to list the exact steps you take and what happens as i don't have my i3 any more....

Can you also answer this question from earlier?

In the POI folder on your PC that you specify to POILoader to look in for your POIs that you want downloading to your unit: Are your POI files there and do they have actual POI data in them?

Or is this one of the files that you deleted/cleared?[/u]
