I have managed to get the speed camera database onto my Nuvi 370 and now I want to upload some other pois. I have selected some from this site and down loaded them to my PC. I put them in the same folder as my camera pois. Using POILoader as before I get a message that only 32 poi files are allowed in a subdirectory. Do I just make more subdirectories and split the list or is there another way to do this?

I have also found the MaFt collection of pois, how does this compare to the PGPSW pois? Can I install both sets? What happens when there are duplicates?
Question
Regards
Maymo

Not seen this message with my 660 or my wife's 310. Are you using the latest versions of POILoader?

I have my Speed cameras in the top level of my POI directory. (I use ASH10s Camera Manager and it doesn't seem to like putting cameras into sub-directories - but haven't bothered to find out if it's my problem or not - it works as it is). I place all my other POIs in subdirectories under this. Some of these have several hundered POIs in. POILoader takes a while - but gets there in the end!

Yes I have just downloaded it from Garmin. I have put the speed cameras in the top level and have used MaFt's pois in subdirectories. This works. I managed to install the PGPSW pois to a sd card, the unit seemed to run really slow like this. Does having the pois on a card slow down map redrawing or is it just the sheer number of pois (thousands)?
