hello again
well been on the garmin all morning,trying to put some poi's on from the poi section,i have a couple of questions though.
1 can you delete or turn the Garmin Poi's off,and if so how????
2 i have put the Poi's i downloaded into a file i created on my desktop then onto a micro sd card using poi loader ,but when inserted into the garmin they don't show up in the custom poi's section, only when downloaded on to the garmin itself using the garmin poi loader can i see them,by clicking where to categories ,scrolling down to custom poi's any help there please.
3 can you delete the european maps i have done a full backup of the device even them hidden folders, so as to make some space on the unit itself as i don't think i will be driving around europe,bought this garmin really for the free map updates and free traffic. nice bit of kit
looking forward to some help please thank you tony |

1. No, the Garmin POIs are part of the map database.
2. POIs on a card will show, but they need to be in a folder named POI on the card.
3. If you don't want the full EU map run Express and select Change map regions then select UK. That may or may not work since Express doesn't always give the options you might expect. However if you run Garmin MapUpdater from here
http://download.garmin.com/lmu/GarminMapUpdater.exe
and look for View Options that you'll see bottom left that should allow you to choose just the UK map |
