Not all POI's showing on Go 520

[mbonnick]

Hi

I have downloaded the POI's, unzipped them, and copied them into the map part of the SD card, so both the OV2 and BMP file are on the card in the right place, and through Windows Explorer I can see they are all there.

When I try to navigate to a POI it doesn't list all of them, in fact I think only 35 or so are there, for example 'Debenhams' is on the SD card but if I try and search for debenhams its not found, and yet Virgin Megastore is on there so I know the POI's are definately in the right place. I have dome the same thing as I did for the Go 510 which I had previously and never had any problems with that.

I have also just downloaded the Hollywood Bowl POI's from their website and added them but they don't show either. Am I missing something, does anyone have any ideas??

Any help would be appreciated.

What version of the software have you got, and how many .OV2 files do you have in the map folder in total?

There is a limit on the number of POI files you can have. It should be 100 on the 520, but you may have used up some of the capacity with Mapshare downloads.

Don't forget to use Windows Explorer (or the Mac equivalent) NOT 'Home' to count how many ov2 files you have in your map folder.
100 is the limit in v6 and 7 software.

BTW "search" would find lots of previous mentions of this.
