Thanks Firefly. I downloaded it from lamonster's link. Now I just need the Spyder back to test it out.

I had one person contact me with a problem installing the GPI file. Their Garmin didn't have the "Garmin\POI" folder. You may be able to just create this folder and it may work.

If you have problems working with the GPI file, you can use the Garmin POI Loader and I have the GPX file I can also send/post.

The GPX file HAS to load using the Garmin POI Loader software.

The GPI file HAS to drag and drop as described in this thread.

You only need to do it one way or the other.

Contact me if you have problems.

Lowrance Conversion

I found that Lowrance has a converter that will convert a GPX file into the USR format that the Lowrance units use.

If anyone wants to try this - just PM me and I can email you the GPX file.

Here is the link on the Lowrance site.

If anyone has any other formats or brands of GPS they want---- let me know and I'll try to come up with a conversion.

Thanks---- but please give due credit to Ken Tompkins too. With his list being closer to done than mine - this was able to come out much sooner!

Looks like I need a GPX or CSV file Bro. I have no way to load the other one that I can see.
I'm using a Street Pilot 7200

Hope I got everyone that gave me their email address----

Please let me know if it's loading and working okay - especially on units other than the 550.
Hope it loads and works well for everyone-- please let me know!

I chose a different method for loading it into the Garmin than what Ken posted on Spyder Talk. He is supplying the GPX file - which requires using the Garmin POI Loader (free download from Garmin).

If anyone needs or wants the GPX file - I can send that also. I just thought copying the file right to the GarminPOI folder was easier.

The GPX file and the GPI files have the exact same data--- just to avoid any confusion.

I'm looking into converting this also for other brands...

What would be the other top brands? Tom Tom, Lowrence, ????

Thanks for the GPX file Ken :thumbup:

 

[Firefly]

Glad you got it working.... have had a few people that needed to load it the 'GPX' way------which is pretty easy also if you follow Ken's great instructions!

Thanks again Ken!

Thanks for the GPX file Ken :thumbup:

Is that the big screen TV in your living room? :shocked:

Don't be silly......it's the one in his garage! :roflblack:

I like my GPS to be big enough that other riders can share it with me on a ride.

 

[Firefly]

Thanks for the GPX file Ken :thumbup:

Are you also getting the address text and phone number properly displayed when you select one?

The reason I ask is that mine looks like this when at the same screen as you:

Yet another reason to be a Spyderlover...

My zumo 550 didn't have the POI folder, so I created one, works great! Thanks!
