The advantage is that if you only have one update file you can quickly run POILoader in Manual mode for quick alerts with different distances.īut what about order on the device if one does not use sub-folders. These files will display in the order that the GPI files were originally installed on the GPS but alphabetical within each file. Then each of the multiple files in each folder will be in the root of your Custom POIs. if you want to use POILoader in Express mode.Ī disadvantage if you run POILoader on each of the following sub-folders individually you end up with multiple GPI files. The folders become categories on the GPS that make the list of scrolling through files much shorter.Ī disadvantage is that you have to go through all of the files and individually configure them before running POILoader if some people want alerts, or different distances, or different icons or WAV sounds, etc.

One advantage of running POILoader on a single folder with sub-folders like the following is that the files will be in folder and alphabetical order. Some like alerts, others don't, the variables go on. Still a lot of of work to keep track of everyone's files. No matter if you do it with individual files for each POI or individual setup folders for each person, its I also update multiple GPSs regularly and have done it with individual files since each person wants some different and some of the same files. So, in short, they are always displayed in the order they were originally installed on your GPS and will be alphabetical in folder first, then file order within each GPI file. The 2nd GPI file will always be the 2nd file or group of files in the display order on the GPS, regardless of whether you update them later by copying updated files over top of them. If the GPI file has multiple files and folders compiled within it then they will be displayed in alphabetically, folders first then individual files. If you start with a empty POI folder on the GPS or SD card then the first GPI file you load into the POI folder will always be the first file displayed on your GPS. If you individually compile POI files or groups of POI in different folders to a location on your hard drive then the order is. There was an excellent post by bear009 that should bear on this subject of the order of folders and files that appear on the device. only one root folder), then there can be more that 32 file sets. (see 'Can't get rid of POIs' above)ĭavid King reported that if you are using no sub-folders (ie. gpi files in a folder other than the POI sub-folder on the device will be read in the alphabetic order of the folders on the device. A file set can include a sound file and/or an Icon file * There can not be more than 32 file sets in a sub-folder. * There can only be one level of sub-folders * There must be at least two sub-folders to create categories but there can be any number of sub-folders.

Many people like to have their Custom POIs divided into 'Categories' to make it easier to locate a particular POI.Īn excellent FAQ on how to set up Categories can be found at However, my testing indicates that - with the correct version of sox.exe - most all wav files work fine.

If you have a stereo wav, there is a portable, freeware software package that will convert it to mono. wav file must be PCM, 44.100 kHZ., and 16 bits, Mono and that a stereo wav file will not work. You can do this by using MediaIO (to convert one format to another, say. wav files, a particular version of sox.exe must be in the same folder as POI Loader.

Even though it is not documented by Garmin. At some point Garmin decided that the expense of licensing the ability to play. The solution is to follow the instructions in So, when you follow the instructions to name your sound file the same as your POI file to the left of the extensions, what you think isĪnd 'mylocations.csv' is not the same as 'mylocations.wav'

Many computer come with Windows Explorer set to 'Hide extensions of known file types'. The character string to the left of the extension must be the same for the POI file, the sound file and the Icon (.bmp) file, if used. Sound file (.mp3/.wav) is not named the same as the POI file (.csv/.gpx) There are several reasons why voice/sound alerts will not work and you get only a 'Ding' when you expect a sound file to play.ġ.
