Hi All,
Can someone help. I've used a PC since being a Member, To day I've lost
being able to see my H/D on PC.
The Mac however is OK. Question I don't seem to be able to open the POI from the Site, to unzip. The Mac has Suffitt Expander loaded.
Can I download to a Mac.
Thanks
Johnnunn |

Yep, no problem. I use a Mac with stuffit as well.
When you have the file downloaded onto desk top, right click (CTRL and click) on the file, and from the drop down list choose the programme - stuffit. It will open as normal.
There is a fault or whatever in the system that prevents you just double clicking the file to open it.
Hope this helps, if not post back.

Noooooooooooooooo 
There's loads of Forums already,
Mind you, I often wonder how some Mac users translate the advice to 'back up using Windows Explorer'.
Not everyone is computer savi, and I include myself here to some extent.
I build and repair PCs as a hobby type thing for friends and family and only had a Mac for about 5 years now. So plenty about Macs I'm still finding out.

Would I drag the csv. file via a POI loader (which I haven't got on the
Mac. Or is there a way to the SatNav when connected via USB

Garmin have POI Loader for Mac here.
Works in the exact same way that the PC version does.

| You HAVE to use POILoader with Garmin units. For the Mac version of POILoader see this page |
