Hi to all, im a taxi driver, had my first satnav (i3) for a week now and want the best out of it, which is why i have become a member of this forum.
After searching through other threads i feel a little confused......
Obviously the speed camera database is a must have, kinda thought it would have already been on there so thank goodness for you guys.

So the unit came with a 256mb card, it has europe NT V8.
When i attempted to load poi's of over 1 mg it said that there isnt enough room and i'll need to reduce the number of points, i deleted from the folder poi's that i wont use and managed to load about 10 poi's.

How will i be able to download speed cameras when theres no room left?
Theres maps of europe that i'll never use plus loads of voice languages i wont use either, so how can i delete from the unit?

I'm surprised that there's no function to edit the card. will i need to buy a card reader/writer to do this?

One last question if i may... having loaded these points of interest ie (tesco and waitrose, Lewes, E. Sussex was included for both of these) i select food,hotels & more i still dont see them listed, i simulated a route to go past waitrose and there was no icon.


Thats all i have to ask, i would be most gratefull for your help.

thanks

Yes, you'll need a card reader. Have a look at this thread http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=244488#244488.

Can't answer this one, except to suggest you try again after loading the POIs via a card reader.
