Re: How near to via point?

thanks for the response: I have read that and I seem to, 1.) still be having issues. 2.) have unreasonable expectations of what should be happening when I get close to to a POI. I did not previously due a "manual" load. So i have left my test file as is and reloaded the with the POI. I wil...

Re: How near to via point?

dont want to hijack a thread here.... this sounds like a similar issue I am having with waypoints and POI. As I am driving along, there will be a waterfall or cave I'd like to stop at. I need my unit to Identify it to me before I get there. On my old 60CSX the WAYPOINT flag would be clearly seen on ...

Re: POI loader

it is a .gpx file when I export it in BC. I have had SOME success, but I'd thought the unit would work differently when coming up to a POI. A good start for me now would be if I could get like 10 good ICONs that are bigger, 48x48 so I can see them on my unit. I had a couple of these "test"...

POI loader

Ok, here is what I have got from my "waypoint" issue: Use the POI loader, so who here is a bang wiz at the POI app? I understand it so far, but I seem to be having some issues. I have loaded a bunch of them into a test file in BC. I even used the 48X48 LARGER ICONS, I set up a proximity fe...

Re: waypoints

Ok, I made some progress......I originally did not navigate to the proper "EXPORT" on my PC. I got it right and they were/are there. So I saw them, small and no info. I am assuming I can make them better/bigger so when I come across them they are easier to see. Currently, there was just a ...

Re: waypoints

ok, I think I made a mistake..............the way I navigated to the POI file. I have redone the way I save them and redid the POIs to my unit. Let me run a test tomorrow when I go to work.

Hope this is it!!!!

Re: waypoints

did not work, I made five waypoints and kept them in a separate file in BC. I then exported them to a Garmin folder on my desktop. I then used the Garmin POI tool to find them, and I saved them to my GPS. The GPS took a minute or so to wake up and connect to the PC, but it sure made all the noises a...

Re: waypoints

ok, thanks. I will make a few "test" ones here close to home and give it a try. Can you select one (in GPS) and navigate to it?
