All the latest Drive and Nuvi models need the wav file. You might want to read through http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=97158

I've not yet renewed my camera subscription and wanted to be sure i could get it working before i did, any suggestions ?

Well it should be similar to the windows version, just that the way of doing it may differ slightly. The link I posted still explains the basics Very Happy

What exactly do you mean by 'opened the poi package'?
Exactly what have you opened?
What is fr.lproj?
Are you following the guide pointed to by sussamb?

jrleeming · Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2017 5:10 pm Post subject:

yes I'm looking at the guide sussamb posted , don't know where fr.lproj appears from ?
I've right clicked on the garmin poi loader and selected show package

contents_CodeSignature
Info.plist
MacOS
PkgInfo
Resources

and again opened the resources folder

Got me totally flumoxed as well.

No idea what that package is all about.

Whether a Mac or Windows I thought the basic processing was the same.

CSV, BMP, WAV, POIloader, job done.

I'm right clicking on the garmin poi loader icon then selecting show package details, it comes up with the lists I have previously posted , I don't know what else to do ?

sussamb · Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2017 6:57 pm Post subject:

Why are you doing that? POI Loader is a program that takes the PGPSW files and converts them to a .gpi file that can be read by your Garmin. Please re-read the idiots guide that I linked to above.

You don't open POILoader. It's a program or app or whatever you want to call it in Apple Land. You run it, normally done on a PC by double clicking. Run it the same way as you would any program on your Mac.
But before you do that, you have to download a POI database, or the camera database from PGPSW with the .wav voice files.
Have you actually installed POILoader?

So where does "sox.exe " need to be changed ?
I must be completely mis understanding !
Yes I have

M8TJT · Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2017 7:13 pm Post subject:

Sox.exe does not need to be changed, it needs to be put in the same folder as the POILoader.exe file. Sorry can't help much. Am not an Apple fanboy.
Follow Kremmen's guide and using his numbering, tell us where you are getting stuck. At least we will then know what you have/haven't achieved.

You need to use a file explorer to find the folder. I think it's called 'Finder' on a Mac.

Just used finder to look for "POILoader.exe" no file found !

just downloaded sox.exe and tried to unzip it, my Mac tells me its a windows file and cannot be opened !
mmmmmm

sussamb · Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2017 7:44 pm Post subject:

Then as per point 1) in the guide ... download and install POI Loader (google search for it)

Follow with point 2), 3) etc
