So first we start with test data, which for this example, will consist of a company name, address and phone number. is a web interface to GPSBabel (a command-line program for converting various GPS file formats). The POI Loader from Garmin takes data from a GPX file and create a GPI file that the Nuvi can then read.Īs near as I can tell from what you've said, this is the solution you're looking for. The POIs are found in the Garmin/Poi/ folder (if it doesn't exist then make it). This folder is searched on each boot and any new data is stored in the device memory (hence why you can mess with that file but the waypoint will still remain in the unit). Favorites are found in the Garmin/gpx/ folder of your Nuvi.
Not being familiar with the Nuvi models I couldn't be of much help there, but I think if you would post your problem on the forums at you will find a bunch of pretty knowledgeable people that will be more then glad to help you.įavorites and POIs are different. Guess the people who received one for Christmas must have some questions too. I'm stuck here and I tried the Garmin support number but their phones were busy and when I did get through, it said the wait was more than a half hour.
GARMIN POI LOADER MAC MAC
It pulled all the files into my favorites and mixed them up with all the other locations I've saved over the months.Ĭan someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the POI loader or does it not work with Vista? It didn't find the files on a Mac Mini either when I tried with the MAC version of the POI Loader.Īlso, will it always dump all the files into the favorites categories or can I have a seperate button for sales locations so that their favorites are not filled with hundreds of locations? I named the file Practice.gps and put it in the GPX folder on the Nuvi. I have found a program that converts the CSV to GPX. I can't find any way for the POI loader to actually recognize the file. When I save the file as a CSV Comma Deliminated, the POI program never sees it. We all have Vista for an OS and we have Office 2007. I've been able to get the coordinates from a program that reads the address and I've put them in a CSV file, as well as a txt file with notepad. I'm trying to set up their units so they can find all the people they call on in the memory instead of entering all of the addresses individually. My sales team all use Garmin Nuvi 350's and I have a 660 that I use.
