|
|
When using POILoader it gives 3 options to load POI's. The main one of interest to me is the Mapsource one. I choose the Mapsouce button and give a file name as requested and after that nothing. I cannot see my POI's or the file anywhere.
Has anyone used this method and if so, can they walk me through the procedure please.
Thanks. |

It creates the named .GPI file in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Garmin\CustomPOIs (or its Vista equivalent).
Who knows what this was intended to do ... Mapsource does not read .GPI files |

Interesting and thanks for that.
I would have thought I could 'see' the Camera POI's in Mapsource but obviously not. |

You can the camera icons into Mapsource by several methods, some including using conversion programs.
However, the easiest seems to be to download the Garmin Other [ UK - Mapsource gdb format (iQue, 60cx etc)] Speed Camera files.
Go to http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras as usual, select "Garmin Other" in SatNav System pulldown then Continue.
On the next page select "UK - Mapsource gdb format (iQue, 60cx etc)".
They aren't terribly useful in Mapsource however, the many large icons will smother a map unless you're zoomed right in and the camera names aren't intuitive. _________________ Mark B
