Download garmin poi loader

Click here to go to the PocketGPSWorld Speed Camera Database This guide applies to all Garmin devices that use POILoader to install POI data. This includes all nüvi and zümo devices. If you are also installing sound files, please see this page for the differences between Garmin units that support .mp3 files and those that use .wav files. If your Garmin device is a .wav enabled version then you will also need the SOX.EXE file, a link is provided on that page along with instructions. First steps If you do not already have Garmin's POI Loader Installation Utility installed you must download and install it. Where to get POI Loader? Download POI Loader from Garmin's web site here. Downloading the Speed Camera Database Download from the PocketGPSWorld Speed Camera Database page by selecting Garmin POILoader. Press 'Continue'. Choose the database files you require (country and database type) e.g. UK - Consolidated by Type. Click 'Download Database'. Extracting the Database on the PC Extract the ZIP file contents to a directory on your PC. In Windows XP/Vista right-click the .zip file and select "Extract Files Here..." or use a program such as WinZip or WinRar to extract the files - if you do not extract the files POI Loader will not be able to use them and will report that there are no csv files available. Mac Users - the process is the same but we advise you to use the free Unarchiver app. The built-in unzipping app is notoriously unreliable. Installing PocketGPSWorld Speed Camera Database Connect your Garmin to the PC via the USB cable or if your device supports it, connect a mciroSD card to your computer using a card reader (see Note below). If POI Loader does not automatically start, launch it now. Select your device or microSD card from the drop-down selection. Browse for your POI folder (on your computer) and follow the on screen instructions. NB: You MUST ensure you select Feet and mph if you are using UK/Northern Ireland files or Meters and km/h for all other countries (see below). If you do not ensure this selection is correct for your territory then the alerts will sound at incorrect speeds. This is the most commonly asked question, please check you have configured this correctly first! Use 'auto' mode to quickly transfer the database to your unit. Note that any other POIs you wish to load must be uploaded at the same time as the Speed Camera. If you used a microSD card, eject it from your computer, insert into your Garmin and answer Yes to the 'copy data to device' question. If you installed direct to your device skip to the next step.

If you have a newer unit with the Garmin / Cyclops camera database installed then you may want to turn off alerts for this database to avoid

If you run POI Loader it generates a file -- Garmin\POI\POI.gpi -- and it will overwrite any previous file. That means you must load all POIs every time you run the program. If you want to eliminate a file on the gps, just remove it from the computer (or move it out of the source folder) and run POI loader again without it.Finally, if you delete the POI.gpi file using a Mac, it puts the deleted file in a folder named "Trashes" and the gps will continue to see and load the files. You must also empty the trash on the computer while the unit is attached to get rid of them. That is why I normally don't recommend the simple deletion via the Finder.--Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

Under the impression that you could only upload CSV files to the Garmin. I was told to use Extra POI to convert gpx files to CSV files and then upload them. --Garmin 1490Tand Tom Tom In-Dash Eclipse II Login or register to post comments Mon, 01/17/2011 - 8:28pm You can load either.Once --Charlie.

It makes no sense to convert GPX files to CSV files, as you lose any extension fields such as phone number that can be dialed if your device accepts a bluetooth phone. Another advantave of GPS files is that you can load GPX files into MapSource to use as Waypoints for routes, if your GPS accepts routes.floridaWMA.gpx is NOT a POI file, so POI Loader cannot compile it. floridaWMA.gpx is a series of tracks. You can load it into MapSource to view them. --Zumo 550 & Zumo 665 My alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.

How do I get voice alerts using wav files for units without mp3 capability?Submitted by charlesd45 on Thu, 06/24/2010 - 12:44am.A. Download and install the latest PoiLoader file from Download Sox Exesox-14-0-1.zipC. After un-zipping Sox.Exe file, place it in your Garmin program folder where the PoiLoader exe file is located on the computer. This is a one-time installation.**SOX runs in the background and installs the sound files along with the CSV or GPX files. It does not make any visible changes to the operation or appearance of the PoiLoader.**D. The wav file for alerts must be renamed the same as the CSV or GPX file except for the extensions.**Example : for the Speed-Cameras.csv file, you must name the sound file Speed-Cameras.wav.**E. You will need to select manual mode on POI Loader to set speed or distance for alert.=== MAKING YOUR OWN WAV FILES ===You can make your own wav files by going to and typing in what you want it to say. There are several voices to pick from.=== CONVERTING MP3 TO WAV ===For those who want to convert their favorite MP3’s to wav files, download a audio editing program. Many available by Google search. I listed two:GoldWave using the conversion it must be saved as PCM, 44.100 kHZ., 16 bit, Mono.=== USING GOLDWAVE ===Using GoldWave for my instructions and Windows XP.A. Open up GoldWave.B.
