Adding Dealer List to Zumo 660

[irish2themax]

For those who have the Zumo 660 and want to add the dealer list provided by Firefly, the list is in *.gpi format. POI Loader requires *.gpx format.

I did a net search and found a free converter

When you convert, save the file with a gpx extension. Otherwise it won't be recognized

Hope this is of some use

Correct--- if you want to use the POI loader you have to have the GPX format--- which both Ken and I can send over if anyone needs it.

I went with the .gpi format because it doesn't require using the POI loader software--- you can just drag and drop it into your Garmin:

To install :

1. Plug Garmin into computer via USB
2. Find Folder(on Garmin unit) "Garmin\POI"
3. Drag and drop "Spyder Dealers 07-29-09.gpi" file into that folder.

If you look in the "Garmin" folder and don't see a "POI" folder, you can just create one and then drag the GPI file into that folder.

All the POI loader does is convert the GPX file to a GPI and install it for you. If using the free GPI converter should work--- but you're essentially converting from a GPI to a GPX and then back to a GPI again.:shocked:
