The POI Loader for Windows software has been update to version 2.5.1 as of February 27, 2008

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=927

Quote:
Changes made from version 2.4.2 to 2.5.1:

* Added the capability to save gpi files to a user's directory.

Changes made from version 2.4.1 to 2.4.2:

* Added .gpi file support for code pages other than 1252. This will resolve issues with bad characters in Eastern European and Asian languages.

I'll try a clean install later or next week, but it goes through the motions and then at the final stage it disappears and i'm presented with the Send Error Report to Microsoft / Don't Send option.

Obviously it might just be my PC but 2.4.1 works fine.

Wished I had seen this thread before I updated my POI loader to 2.5. Hey and guess what? it keeps crashing everytime I use it. Can`t reinstall previous version as I have already deleted it. Desperately need to update my unit (Streetpilot i3 v3.4). Any ideas?

Old versions of POILoader are avalible here

As this is a third party collection you use them at your own risk. However i've used some of the old firmwares from there are they have been fine.

Greetings
Any chance that they have reintroduced the WAV capability?
I am still using POI Loader v2.4.0 Beta on my 2720 as the POI version I've tried after that means that the unit reverts to Bing-Bong. Tried with the WAVs converted to MP3s but still bing-bong; the 2720 does not seem to recognise MP3 files - unless I'm missing something(?).
Regards

It appears from some testing that was done here a while back, if the unit doesn't have an MP3 Player function, it won't support mp3 alerts either. I don't think Garmin have / or will reintroduce wav alerts.
