Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:01 pm Post subject: Garmin 310, How Many POI Files? |
|
|
Hello i am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone would kindly answer a couple of questions. I bought a Garmin 310 after newly qualifying as an HGV Driver and was wondering:
1) Is there a limit to the amount of POI Files i can put on the units internal
memory/sd card, or is it just a case of putting files on until the memory/sd card is full? I can't find any information anywhere to tell me an amount, or if i go over a certain of poi files will slow the unit down when mapping. For example i want to map low bridge info and key fuels which i am thinking of buying which are 2 seperate poi files.
2) Has anyone used the fleet and low bridge and keyfuels software by landis media? Is it any good?
3) I know my unit can use 12/24v according to the specs without buying a seperate converter, but do some trucks use more than this, would it be safe to buy a dropper anyway? |

Thanks for the reply, i was just going to load the card with the poi files and see how i get on. Being a truck driver can you shed any light on my 3rd question. Thanks. |

ref your quistion 3 as far as I know all trucks are 24v and most are fitted with a 12v socket so you should be able to use either. |
