I would like to ask does anyone know how to upload the POi's and the camera database.

I have tried uploading the POi's and the camera database separately but each time I have then looked in the custom points it appears to overwrite the camera database. I hope this makes sense to anyone so I mean I can either have poi's or the camera I dont know how you can have both together.

I have put the poi and cameras in the same file and tried with the poi uploader. The folder is 2.2mb in size it tells me when trying to upload there is not enough space on the unit even though I have a 512mb mirco sd card aswell

this has been dealt with a number of times. When you upload POI's it deletes all the existing ones. All you need to do is have all the POI's you wanna upload in one folder. Over-write the old with new then upload the entire folder. sorted

Is the card formatted? Needs to be FAT (Not FAT32)

Also when you use POILoader it asks you where you want to store the POIs can you select the card from the drop down list?

Have you tried putting the card into a card reader and then importing the POIs to the card that way (again select the card as a removable disk as above) and then put the card into the i3 once complete?

hi paul that is a good point I never thought about a card reader I dont currently have one. Perhaps is that what I am going to need

you can't use the i3 as a 'card reader' - poi loader will install to the internal memory (severely lacking in free space i'm afraid) so you will need a card reader.

as an alternative, i presume your micro-sd card (transflash) came with an SD-card adaptor (to make it full size)? if so then you could use a digital camera as a 'card reader' - poi loader simply looks for a 'removable device' to upload to so if your camera shows as a drive in 'my computer' then stick your transflash card in there and point poi loader to that
