Hi all,

I use MaFt's POIs from www.garminpoi.co.uk and I just wondered if anyone uses any others. I had a googls round for any more but nothing obvious turned up.

I hadn't spotted that one before it is rather good. The zip files have .csv files so no conversion is needed for the POI loader.

Thanks,

JR

Can anyone advise how the Custom POI's are listed in the Nuvi 310, the first batch I downloaded were in alphabetical order but when I add further ones they go straight to the end. I have even tried deleting them and then reloading but they are remain in the same jumbled order

Kevdb,

You will find that they are listed in order of 'distance' from your current location.

I don't believe you can change it.

Mussey1,

It is the headings I was really referring to ie Wickes, Comet etc rather than the individual addresses but thanks anyway

I'm a little confused over the use of POIs and speed camera database....

If I download the speed cameras and the latest poi from MaFt, which uploader can I use to load all pois onto i3? I have been using Ash10's camera manager - will this update POIs other than speed cameras? Do you need to drag the unzipped POIs into this, or do I need to unzip the file and then delete the unwanted POIs (understand that not all POIs and cameras will fit?).

I apologise if this q has been answered elsewhere - pse advise if this is the case...

Mant thanks

I use Ash's Camera Updater, and POILoader to manually update my memory card. I unzip MaFt's POIs to my POILoader directory and update that way.

Hope This Helps.
