Hi

I have a Garmin Street Pilot i3. The Street Pilot has a memory card that I have been loading the speed camera POIs onto. This morning I forgot to take the memory card out of the street pilot and just loaded the speed camera POIs directly onto the device..

I am now assuming that I must have two sets of speed camera POIs on my garmin, one older version on the he flash memory card and the latest version on the device itself..???

Can I delete the POIs from the device, will the above cause any issues? I don't see anyway to access the memory of the device itself.

Thanks
Michael

if you open notepad and type the following:

0,0,ignore

then save it as a csv file then run poi loader to install this poi file. poi loader will first remove the installed custom points and add this single point that won't get you anywhere.

Thanks MaFt

I have just loaded that file so will see what happens..

One other question.. I have your POIs loaded but never see any of the .bmp icons appear on my screen when driving, is that correct..?

The POIs are there because I can navigate to them but I never see a pcture...

Cheers

That is correct.

It has been discussed many times before but Garmin felt that if all POIs showed up then the screen would become clutered. You can use the Manual Mode in POILoader to edit each POI categopry as it loads so you can have POIs show up when you are close to them but the constant BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, is very annoying......
