Where are POI's in the file system?

[jeta1]

I have successfully loaded a number of custom POI categories into my Nuvi 1300, have used POI downloader and for navigation purposes they are in the 1300 and can be selected as destinations from the 'extras' category.

When the unit is hooked up to the PC I can see the unit as a 'drive' and can explore the file system. In the file system I can see a folder named POI, however only the Garmin camera database is in there, so proximity warning can only controlled for the Garmin Cameras. So where are the POI's that I've loaded myself being stored? I have explored my way through a number of the folders but can't find them

I will obviously want to load in the PGPSW camera info in preference to the Garmin, I thought I'd get some other custom POI's working before I started on the camera database.

So on the basis of what I know, or have found out so far, I can install custom POI's but not set up proximity warnings, which means the PGPSW want bring the benefit I want.

I presume this is 'finger' trouble on my behalf, could anyone help guide me to the correct method to fix this please???

Thanks in advance ...

Your POIs are in the file called poi.gpi (albeit in a coded format).

The PGPSW camera POIs live in the same file, once loaded.

What you can do is load several poi files which is what I do as follows.

First poi file I load is my own favourite poi s which rarely change; having loaded them, change the file name in the garmin to, in my case PCR_poi.gpi.

Then load the next file, in my case European cameras which I load infrequently and rename to EUR_Camspoi.gpi

Finally load the UK cameras and leave these as poi.gpi as they change every week.

So you have three (or more) files all of which show up on the garmin.

It just means you only have to reload the camera files every week, the others just stay unchanged.
