New dealer list for Garmin GPS

[billybovine]

​Please note I am no longer maintaining the files in the links below. The reason is that BRP is now offering a updated Dealer List file on their website and I started this because they had not been doing so.

I have created a new dealer list that is intended to be a replacement for the dealer list that comes on a Zumo 660 from Can am or adds this feature to other Garmin GPS.

The original dealer list info comes from Wiredux. Thanks Wiredux for letting me use your data.
Current version contains dealer info for Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
The difference with my list is it acts just like the list that originally comes with the Can am GPS. With of course more accurate and more recent data.
It creates a similar Y Facture icon in the Where to menu titled Spyder Dealers, like the original. It also adds the feature of showing the location of the dealer with a BRP icon on the map, when zoomed in close enough.

To use the file. Download it from the link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9z...it?usp=sharing
Copy this file onto your Garmin GPS. It can be put anywhere but to keep things organized put it in the POI folder. If your gps is a Can am one there will be a file in the POI folder called oempoi.gpi. You can either delete it or better rename it by changing the .gpi to .gp0 that way you can go back if you wish. If you have another Spyder dealers list loaded I would delete it just so there is no confusion with multiple entries with same name and location.

I have tested it with my Zumo 660 and have no problems. I have also tested with a Nuvi 255W and 265W and it works well except when there is another .gpi file that contains proximity alerts such as for speed traps and red light cameras.

For those that would like the dealer list in a Garmin gpx format use this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9z...ew?usp=sharing
For those with a TomTom that would like the dealer list in a ov2 format use this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9z...ew?usp=sharing

I downloaded the list and have a question. When I go to 'Where To' and then 'Favorites' all Can Am dealers are listed. But, when I go to Spyder Dealers (with the Y fractured icon) only dealers up to 206 miles from my home are listed.

I have a Garmin 765T. Any ideas? Also, before downloading your listed, I deleted the previous dealer list from my gps.

And by the way, thank you for the list.

Thanks

Since I don't have a 765T to test I can't be sure because of differences between models but this is what I can figure out. The list you got from me should not appear in your favorites. That will be a different list from a .gpx file copied directly to your Garmin.

On my Zumo 660 my .gpi file and the BRP. gpi file will only display the nearest 52 dealers. I don't know why there is a limit to the list display length but all the data is there and will display the nearest 52 depending on where you are at the time you look.

I hope that helps.

The dealer list info comes from Wiredux so if you have his list install and are happy with it. You don't need my new file. Thanks Wiredux for letting me use your data.

I cannot open this file. Any suggestions?

I have a Zumo 660 that came with my Spyder . . . followed your directions and renamed the oempoi.gpi file so it would be ignored, and added your file to that folder. It works great! There are dealers that were not in mine, and the directions to a dealer that were incorrect (somehow, even though it showed the right address, the directions took you somewhere else!) are now the correct ones. Thanks a lot for this update!

You should not be able to open it. You need to download it and then copy it onto your Garmin. Your Garmin will know what to do with it. I hope that helps.

Thanks, I will try that.

Worked great, thank you (Zumo 660)

[Vidman]

Works great on my Nuvi 1450. Thank you.

[Macca]

Thank you worked great on my 660

[tigerdr]

Did you know if the file contains Canadian dealers?

[wyliec]

Did you know if the file contains Canadian dealers?

Yes it does.

[tigerdr]

Thanks.

Updated file available in post 1.

Corrected Lat and Long for Lockhart Odyssey, Courtland, Ontario

[Deanna777]

Does it work on a Garmin Nuvi 50?

I can't be certain but it should. Copy it onto your Nuvi 50 and try it. If it gives you any trouble just delete it again.

[billybovine]

If you have any corrections, additions or deletions for the dealer list let me know the details.

It looks like the software I am using can output the dealer file for other brands of GPS. If you are interested let me know.

Worked great on my 660. Foloowed your instructions and it went right in. Thanks for your effort, it's appreciated

Does this update still use the "Spyder Dealers" on the garmin 660's main page that come with the new spyders?

If you follow my instructions in post #1 it will replace "Spyder Dealers" on the Can-Am Garmin with one I created that works, looks and feels the same.

[billybovine]

I had a chance to look at a 2014 RT Limited this week and as with all Limiteds it comes with a GPS. I checked out the Spyder Dealers feature and found that the file still has not been updated and has the same 2009 data that has been loaded all Can Am version GPS since 2010. So if you wish to have more accurate and up to date Spyder Dealer list, download the file in post 1 and follow the instructions.

If you know of dealers that are closing, moving or new. Please give me the details and I will make the changes to make the file up to date.

[spyder-dude]

Took about 45 seconds to update my 660 GPS. Worked great!

Please add the new Can-Am dealer here in Central Virginia.
