You're probably best to use the "POILoader i3, Nuvi etc" to begin with. If you get on OK with that, you can try the "Speed Zoned" next time, which tells you which sort of camera it is.

Make sure you choose mph & feet in POILoader, and that you remember which folder you've unzipped the files into, and that POILoader is pointing at that folder when you upload.

Good luck!

If you're using Windows XP, right click on the file and select "Extract All" from the drop-down menu. On the "Select A Destination" screen, browse to the folder you want the unzipped files to go in, and make sure you note the name and location of the folder.

If you're using an earlier version of Windows you'll have to download an unzip program. Google "free unzip", take your pick from the results, download and install it and follow the instructions.

That's OK, we all had to learn some time, even if it was a very long time ago for some of us. Sad

Let us know how you get on!

Yes i agree but there are many terminologys that the newbie does not understand.
I have another question.

2 Is all the mapping on the card or is some information stored in the unit.

Barry
