You'll have to give us a little more to work on here, what upgrade and which POIs? _________________ Darren Griffin |

If you upgrade a MAP, the POIs are stored in the original map's folder and are usually not transferred across (although the latest version of Home and latest maps sometimes manage it). It is easy to get them back by copying them from the old map's folder (or a backup of the same) into the new map folder.
Updates of SOFTWARE should not lose any POIs at all. |

POIS do not go in the POI folder!
POI files go in the named map folder which you want them to work with (e.g. "Western_Europe") |

He might!
He said in his first post "pre-installed POIs"
In which case ALL this talk of folders (who started that? ) is spurious.
If it is the original POI categories that came with the device from new, then that is (as Oldboy says) a single file, called poi.dat (which also lives in the relevant map's folder.
You should be able to simply copy it across from a previous backup, but a software update shouldn't lose it anyway. Can you see it with Win Explorer? |
