I have succcessfully installed 13483 points of interest with the garmin poi loader but where has it put them, if it is the gpx folder i only see one file in there which is current gpx file.
Also i do not see the camera icons which i think are bmp files.

They will be in the POI.GPI file in the POI Folder.

What do you mean? If you mean when you browse the map then not all models allow this. If you mean when you are driving can you give details of the files you uploaded using POILoader?

You won't. They are in the POI.GPI file with the data from the CSV file. Garmin units don't work like TomTom where you just copy the OV2 and BMPs to a map folder. POILoader takes the CSV file and the BMP file and then creates a POI.GPI file which contains all the relevant data - camera locations and BMPs.... |

| Yes. The Cyclops.gpi one is the Garmin database. |
