Just bought a 205 WT to replace my aging i3. I am having a couple of issues if anyone can help...

1) Having put in an SD card, I tried to upload custom POIs from PGPSWorld to this card using POI Loader, but the system doesnt seem to find them unless they are on the internal memory of the unit, which seems to make the whole idea of the SD card pointless. Am I missing something? Is there a Garmin Format I need to use for the card?

2) Is there a way to integrate the custom POIs into the POIs on the unit. So instead of having to search in 2 places for things, I can use the categories on the unit, Shopping, Recreation etc?

3) Any useful POI software out there for Garmin? POIEdit doesnt seem to allow me to edit GPI files.

4) Can I change the voice?

Regards

APC

The card should just be formatted normally. Is the POI.GPI file on the card on it's own or in a folder called Garmin/poi? If not you need to make a folder called Garmin and then make a folder inside that called poi, then put the POI.GPI file in that folder.

I'm afraid not.

There is some. What do you want to do exactly?
