| I have downloaded speed zoned files, and Liz alerts to match. When I extract the voice files to my speed cam folder, they appear in two folders within the speed cam folder. That is I end up with mac_osx folder and garmin Liz w speedzoned folder. Is this correct please ? I was sort of expecting the audio files to be fully extracted with the CSV files. |

Delete the mac_osx folder.
Move the contents (i.e. the mp3 files) from the "garmin Liz w speedzoned" folder to the same folder you have the camera files in and then delete the empty "garmin Liz w speedzoned" folder. |

Hi. Thanks for that. I had not had an E mail advising reply, and assumed that nothing had been added.
This makes sense, but not quite what your original instructions say. |

The original instructions make it clear you should be placing the mp3 files straight into the POI folder.
| Quote: | Standard PocketGPS File Users
1. Download and extract the contents of the zip file to your computer.
2. Copy the extracted .mp3 voice files to the POI folder you use when uploading POIs to your Garmin device. |
If you extract the files and folders straight in to the upload folder then, yes it causes confusion, but you're not told at any stage to do that.
Anyway, glad to see it's sorted. Enjoy. |

Hi, I've just subscribed and downloaded camera alerts for my garmin.
I use a mac. and although I have used unarchiver, the file is still named pgpsw-speed-cams-xxxx. From what I have read, I expected a POI.gps file.
Is this correct or am I doing something wrong. |

Try redownloading in case you have c orrupt download.
You recieve a file called pgpsw-speed-cams-xxxx.zip which contains the csv files you require. |

i have downloaded the pgps speed cams.i made a new folder on the sd card called poi. i made another folder on my desktop and transfered all speed cams and poi,s to it.i then used poi loader to transfer them to the sd card in the nuvi {1340we} when finnished i checked the sd card poi folder and all that was in it was a {poi gpi} file in it.none of the poi,s have shown up on the sd card.i also checked extras but nothing is listed in there also. i would be gratefull if some one could point me in the right direction please.ps the pgps cams show up on the map so i think that side has worked but as for everything else im not sure |

Everything you describe sounds right. All you should see is a file called POI.GPI.
You should find the POIs under
Where to?, Custom POIs |

Which Custom Page are you talking about? How do you get to it. I suspect you are looking at the same screen someone else did last week which is just for managing Custom data and not for viewing it...

Common question. Only Garmin knows for sure.... |

Hi Paul

I keep all my free POI's + blue badge stuff on the actual Garmin & only load speed cams on to S/D card .
Have done the WAV conversion but not quite sure about the next bit hope you can help.

Q1 - the C/Garmin folder is the folder where PoiLoader.exe is stored. It isn't the same place as your camera and wav files.
Q2 - You put the sox.exe in the C/Garmin folder just the one time. It just sits there and does its work each time you run PoiLoader.
I have my speed cameras and voice warnings etc on my SD card and not in the Garmin unit itself. They work just fine.
