POILoader and PGPSW Database Updates

ben1390

Hi, I have recently got a garmin and got to grips with using POILoader and have loaded the latest database and the custom icons, but my question is when an update is released do i have to remove the old database and reload the new one or can i add the new POIs and it will overwrite?

Any help will be appreciated

POILoader over-writes your last version.

So if you have any other poi's etc, you need to load them along with the camera files at the same time. Including sounds and icons.

If you have a set of your own POI's you can rename them and keep them on the Garmin as a seperate file.

When you use the POI loader you also have the option to save your file to another location. I save my files to the desktop and then rename them as appropriate eg uk_cameras or uk_pois or french_cameras etc.

That way you don't need to overwrite important files you want to keep.

However, you must delete similar files otherwise you will confuse yourself and your poor Garmin! Embarassed
