POI's for your GPS at Ripley

[Toyark]

I will be at Ripley offering to upload POI's to your GPS (along with any other help with GPS or Mapsource or POI Loader that I can)

This is not a lecture and I will be available 'working' from my White Toyota Hilux (let's hope that there is only one there!) in the car park opposite the pub and courtyard - look for the 'A' board near it- This activity is not listed but has Grant's blessing.

The upload to your GPS of some POI data files (of your choosing- broken down by countries) is free in return for an appreciative donation to Horizons for site maintenance.

Note:
Garmin tells me that most motoring units such as the Nuvi, and Zumo's as well as most units with memory cards can make use of CUSTOM POI's using the upload interface POI Loader.
I can vouch for the 60 CSX and the 278C - you may want to check that your unit is compatible with Custom POi's beforehand.

The advantage of Custom POI's is that these do not take up your unit's POI space-
For example, my 278C can store 2000 POI's in the unit's POI memory- but any routes will nibble at that number-and reduce it substantially-
Custom POI's are not stored in the same area hence your unit's full POI memory capability remains available-
Testing my 278C, it froze somewhere between 326,000- and 328,000 custom POI's! I have left a little space and currently have uploaded 320,000 without any problems.
And the added bonus is that they weigh nothing!

See you at Ripley
