No POI connection

I have downloaded the latest camera database to my computer W10 FF.

When I connect the 2589 to the PC the POI loader screen doesn't pop up.

Did a search and it seems there was a problem back in 2015 with a dodgy Time Zone download but I can't see anything else and I've updated the database since then!.

Any suggestions or help please.

POI Loader won't pop up when you connect your device, or did you mean Express?

... and Express only pops up if you've allowed it to run in the background

Correct, it doesn't. POILoader is a manual start.

I must check the tutorial........

...........this is what I've got, with a "Start POILoader":

How about making POILoader automatically start. User can always close it if not required at that time?

I need to check.

After processing, some use the text change screen so an auto POILoader start needs to be optional.

What do others reckon ?

I'm ok with it now, but an autostart wouldn't worry me.

But having POILoader running does not preclude the text editing facility, just click CSV converter to the front if POILoader 'takes over'.

What about a button to launch POILoader.

Or, a popup that gives the option, yes or not yet.

Popup sounds good to me. Launch POILoader and close CSV converter?

Yes or no option seems reasonable to me !!

People will probably need a prompt for them to plug in their Garmin device, so as to receive the output from PoiLoader.

Apologies I posted in haste without too much thought. I see it has raised some interest though!

I have now got POI loader on the taskbar and desktop so can load it from there. Or this not the way to do it?

Edit: are we discussing the same thing as CSV to GPX was mentioned above but I was referring to Kremmen's PGPSW Camera to Garmin (spoon fed version)?

Yes, look what you've started Laughing

No problem. Looks like the majority are in favour and it's not that difficult.

I may have to get some feedback for the 32bit v 64bit POILoader.exe location but other than that, fairly easy.
