Camera & POI Downloads on Nuvi 2595LMT

boothby

I've recently replaced my TomTom with a Garmin 2595LMT and am struggling with updating & installing a new camera database & batch of POIs
I've downloaded and extracted to a micro sd card the POILoader version of the UK Consolidated by type with MP3 chimes.

I've put the SD card in to the Garmin but I'm not getting the message that the instructions say I should, i.e. "Copy data to device", either on my laptop or the Garmin itself.
Help muchly appreciated.

Thanks

Edit
Whoops - put that on hold please. I've just disconnected the Garmin from the computer & re-booted it. After loading maps etc I get an on-screen message which corresponds to the one above.
Time to suck it & see.
Thanks & apologies for the false alarm,

It can be a bit daunting at times.

Once you think you have it sorted, put the Garmin into GPS simulation mode and plot a route that passes some cameras and your POI's to see if it's working.

No need to venture out Very Happy

I've just run a shortish test & I think it could be ok but I'm not too sure.
I get a "double bong" and a banner across the top of the screen warning me of the camera ahead & the relevant speed. I seem to recollect that this is a Garmin feature. I have their safety cameras turned off & Custom POIs on

The 'bong' usually means that you haven't installed the WAV files in POILoader via the SOX.EXE file.

If you do you will get the proper spoken warnings, which are superb and saves you having to take your eyes off the road.

Do a search here on SOX because you'll need an old version of it and it has to be in the POILoader directory.

I did do a screendump of it's location a week or 2 back.

I posted some links to the older versions of POILoader and sox.exe a while ago.

If your only getting bongs for mobile sites then look at the naming of the .wav file against the .csv and .bmp

I get verbal warnings for all

The test route I did had just the one site with bongs & no verbal warning, but the other 2 did get get the verbal.

Do you mean check that the files on the Garmin correspond, e.g. all 3 exist for a particular site?

Yes

For all *mobile30.csv you will/should have a *mobile30.bmp and a *mobile.wav

If you do have all matching sets then temporarily remove any other POI's in other associated folders as a test because it could be the mobiles are coming in last and have broken the Garmin folder limit causing an issue.
