I guess that the answer is already here somewhere but I couldnt find it! I have tried to load other POIs to my 765 and all that happens is it over writes existing thus doing away with speed camera data etc, what do I need to do to load additional POIs? any help gratefully recieved ta Laughing

Try loading them all in one go. Put the Speed Cameras and the POIs in one folder and upload.

POILOader will overwrite any existing POIs with the new set.

So, put all the POI's you want into one directory and add them at the same time.

OR - (and here my memory is fuzzy), I think you can upload the POIs you never want to change. Then change the name from POI.POI to something else.POI and then upload the changing ones. [Quick, someone with real expertise jump in here]

It's POI.GPI. You can rename it to SOMETHING.GPI if you want but POILoader will only overwrite POI.GPI

Hi all and thanks, I have loaded the POIs such as hotels etc then renamed the file in the unit to "odd POI" then reloaded the camera data base and touch wood it seems to work although not road tested as yet!

Another question although off topic anybody no where I can get a higher capacity battery for the 765 unit, mine dont seem to last long, certainley under the three hours specified.

regards

The unit is designed to be used on the power lead. The battery is for times when you might be away from the power or using the find my car function. It's not designed to be used for long periods. The stated time will be under optimal conditions. The screen brightness and having Bluetooth on will shorten that time.

Hi Paul, I do use the unit for walking in cities sometimes and previous to this had a 360 where the battery lasted for ages, I havnt sold the 360 yet, maybe I should use that one for walkies, the only downside is the flip up ariel which can make it a pain, but thats life I guess.

Hi again, I have tried the suggestions on the 765 but it still only stays on for about 3.5 hours, an improvement but not a lot, perhaps it does need a new battery, but cant seem to find one on the net. any ideas welcome.
regards
