Hi

I have downloaded and installed on mu Nuvi250 euro,uk and Usa using poiloader. In my custom poi file i can only see pocket_uk_cameras and pmobile. When i look into the files i can only see approx 60 cameras and the same with the all categories folder is thsi right because poiloader stated it had installed 6911,13485 number of files also i cannot see my poi file from before.

Can anyone help please

It is correct, the Garmin will only show the nearest 50 locations to your current position, it won't allow you to check all of the camera locations on the device in this way.
I would also recommend you download the consolidated by type data base for you device rather than the single file, as this offers greater information when warning that you are approaching a camera - Mike

As for your final question, POI Loader ONLY loads onto the Garmin the POI files you point it to in that session, it doesn't ADD them to what is already there.
The normal method you have to adopt is to keep all your POI files in one folder on the PC, then when you run POI Loader it will upload them all in one go.

Alternatively, I believe you can manually re-name the file it creates before uploading another set.

Correct and finally if you uploading the UK, US and Euro files you'll need to do these in 2 goes. The UK file will need to be done with POILoader set to MPH, then you need to rename the POI.GPI file in the Garmin/POI folder to POIUK.GPI and then upload the US and Europe files with POILoader set to KPH.

When you go to re-upload the files after downlaoding new ones, just delete the old GPI files from the unit first.

Thanks to all I can now see the UK_EURO and usa in my custom poi folder in my Garmin and when i checked the poi folder i have a poi.gpi and a poiuk.gpi file is that right?

PS i had a custom poi for petrol/supermarkets etc which has gone,do i need to upload again with a different name like poishopping.gpi

Once again many thanks
