Garmin Dealers GPS File Update

[Wiredux]

Just wanted to let you all know that I have started work on updating the Garmin Spyder Dealer list. So far there have been a lot of changes. I actually have all of the phone numbers (this info was missing from the 2013 file). There have been some additions as well as some that have been removed from the list. The good news is that I am getting all of this updated with current information. Here is another addition plus. This file will have the current dealers in Canada as well. I know that this was requested last year and I did not have the time. I will post the file for all as soon as it is complete.

Thanks for putting this together for us.

[Purple Guy]

Yes thank you!

[Dan McNally]

Thanks! The file on my Zumo 660 is, apparently corrupted, somehow. The nearest dealership to me has the correct address in the Garmin, but if I select it, the Garmin wants me to go the wrong direction!

[Wiredux]

Not sure if that is the GPX file or your GPS.

You will be enshined in the SpyderLovers Hall of Fame for this humanitarian act. We all thank you in advance. You are the greatest!

Thank you for this effort. Greatly appreciated for the peace of mind it brings having that data available when on the road.

This is fantastic. We tried to find a dealer shown on my 660 while on our trip last year only detour twenty miles out of our way to find the dealership had closed three year's before.

Will this be in a format I can download to my I Mac and then transfer to the 660 on my RT Limited? Can it update the present file or is there some way to delete it?

[Wiredux]

It will be a GPX file. One of the things this file is going to have is the phone number for the dealer. You can always call them to see if they are closed before you head there.

If I manually enter the same address that the list of dealers in the Garmin has, it provides the correct directions . . . it only gives the wrong directions if I select that dealer from the list of CanAm dealers . . . that would indicate to me that the file is bad . . . why would you think it is my Garmin?

[Wiredux]

Please PM me the dealer info. I take it you are using the dealer list from my site?

No . . . I have the list that came on the Garmin in June, when I bought my Spyder . . . and am hoping your list will correct that problem.

[Wiredux]

Oh ok. Had me worried there. I hope it fixes the issue for you as well.

[Wiredux]

Ok. The Can-Am Spyder Dealers list is complete.

That looks great! I will load it into my Garmin. Would it be ok if I use your updated list to update my site www.spyderhelp.com ?

[Wiredux]

Sure.

[wyliec]

Does anyone know if we have to manually remove the existing gpx file we may for the older list? Or, do we just download the new file and it's automatically treated as an update?

By the way, thank you for all your work Wiredux.

[Wiredux]

I would back up your other one and rename the new one to match the old.

You are not going to believe this ! I clicked the link on my I phone and it downloaded to my motion x gps ap (: it list all the dealers in alphabetical order . When I click on a dealer it locates it on my gps ap as way points . Downside it doesn't give me phone number or state

Can we use this forum to send you updates? I'd so, Jim Potts Motor Group in Woodstock Il telephone number should be 815 338-0640

Thanks again for all the hard work.

Ill take a look. There is a spot going on wiredux.com for just things like that.

I really appreciate the work you put into this. Installed into my 660 and my dealer that got my Spyder from is on there. So far so good. I forgot to delete the dealer list from the factory. Oh well next time. It's too bad we can't replace the original dealer file and keep the nice "Y ​SPYDER DEALERS" icon.

[spyderbirds]

Ok. The Can-Am Spyder Dealers list is complete.

Many Thanks for this endeavor!!

[billybovine]

I double checked my handy work this morning and found that none of the address and telephone number information was there. I have now found out the the problem is a bug with an older version of Garmin POI Loader program I was using. I downloaded, installed the latest version from Garmin and reloaded the file. Problem solved. So I recommend getting the latest version of POI Loader.

Just wanted to let you all know that I have started work on updating the Garmin Spyder Dealer list.

I once put together a (much smaller) list of waypoints for a state park here in Ohio and I know how time consuming that can be. This is certainly a much larger list. KUDOS! Your efforts are appreciated!

P.S. I live in the Columbus, Ohio area and I noticed one of the local Spyder dealers is missing, i.e. Ask Powersports 2450 Park Crescent Dr, Columbus, OH ‎ (614) 759-9300. You have the other 2 affiliated dealerships (they are in Columbus and Lancaster) but this one was not on your list. They are all owned by the same folks and have been in this market for a zillion years. The name ASK is actually derived from their original dealership name Akers Suzuki-Kawasaki Motorcycles from eons ago when that is all they sold.
