Is the following correct?

I found the PGPS review on the Garmin 2820 by Tim and Mike in Dec 2006 which states that POI under the Food, Hotel ... category are by Garmin and are in the software of the GPS and are only changed with a map update.


Yes the built in POIs are only updated when the maps are updated. They can't be removed or edited. However seeing as the latest maps still show a local cinema 10 years after it was pulled down i don't use them.

If I enter my own POI including PGPS Camera database they go into the 'Extras' and it is these that are deleted and replaced every time I use POI Loader.


This is how POILoader works. You need to keep all your POIs in a folder on your PC, including the Speed Camera Database. Each time you need to change any thing put the relevant files in that folder and upload the lot with POILoader. You can't make individual changes to the unit and you must reload the lot each time.

So if I keep a complete file of my own POI and make changes to this file I can manage POI on the unit


As above. Keep the POI files on your PC and if you make any changes to that folder re-upload the lot.

The PGPSW POIs are more up to date as changes can be submitted to PGPSW and these are then added to the POI files. You'll need to re-download the updated POI files and replace the old files with the new ones in your collection and then upload them all again to get them on the Sat Nav.


Thanks for your help with my new toy. As my collection grows I might soon catch up with Dennis N. Though on second thoughts perhaps not

There are built-in POIs such as Railway Stations, Petrol, Parking and many more and there are custom POIs uploaded by the user.

Have you checked our FREE POI Download area? If these POIs are custom POIs then they are very likely to have been downloaded from here in the first place!


Thank you Darren. Help much appreciated.

I have used your source of POI before on my TomTom units so now I understand how the garmin works I will get these and the Speed Cameras onto the garmin.
