|
|
I have a garmin nuvi670 with europe and usa maps. I use the garmin POI loader to download updates. Why is it when I download the USA camera database it automatically wipes my UK camera database. Can I not have them both stored on my sat-nav at the same time. ?. I am new to gps and forums so not that savvy. Any help is appreciated. Thanks |

hi and welcome
the garmin poiloader software automatically clears any custom pois when you add new ones. the only way around this is to put ALL your csv/bmp files in teh same folder and then install them all together using poi loader.
hope that helps

You can save POI's in their own sub-folder.
What I do is have a Folder (POI) on my PC. Into this I load the PGPSW camera database csv/bmp/mp3 files.
I then create folders in here for other POI's (eg ATM) into which I place the relevant csv/bmp.
Run POILoader and point it at the top level.
When it has finished you will get folders (e.g. ATM) in the POI section of the nuvi. It makes the area a little more organised and simpler to get to what you want. If you have the speed-zoned cameras there are a lot of POI categories showing and this can be a pain if you are looking for a specific POI category. _________________ Phil |
