For starters, click on "318,000 FREE POIs" at the top of the page. Then by the box saying 'TomTom' click and select 'Other (CSV)'. This gives you a long list which includes restaurants and associations such as the Caravan Club, plus hundreds of others.
You can thensearch through the threads for POI-type topics for other suggestions _________________ David

First of all. Backup the Nuvi. Make a folder on your PC called Nuvi 300 Backup and copy the entire contents to this folder. Burn it to CD / DVD and keep it somewhere safe.
Then download and install WebUpdater. Plug in your Nuvi and run WebUpdater and install any relevant updates. Mainly Unit Software / Firmware.
Note: When you complete this you'll need to restart the Nuvi. It is normal for it to take a while to restart. Just leave it. |
