+Team Torque Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have noticed some of the new GPSrs have the ability to include pictures and sound with a POI. Does anyone have any details on this? The Garmin web site mentioned the Garmin Tour Guide but all I have been able to find is the poiloader. I'm not afraid to RTFM if you can point me in the right direction. I would like to know how to package up these POIs. Also of interest is can these GPSrs be set to show the POIs as you pass them and play the associated wav file? That would be so cool at a place like Gettysburg. Quote Link to comment
+Team Torque Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Bump. All the knowlege in this forum and no one has any comments on this? Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I don't know so I did a little (very little) digging into this. I didn't find anything about pics and sounds. Apparently Garmin offers something like Waymarking. Something about if you run a red light Redlight Intersection Traffic Camera (2095 records) For a $25 annual subscription fee, you will receive a single POI file that contains cameras for the entire US, in all areas listed below. the other was: http://www.gps-poi-us.com/tourguide.html Coming Soon....... It does sound interesting. Do you have any active links? Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 This was just answered in another thread. The Tour Guide option allows you to upload MP3 files that start playing when various proximity alerts are triggered. This is only available in a few models, mostly the dedicated navigation units (nüvi, zūmo and the StreetPilot 2730, 2820, 7200, and 7500). Quote Link to comment
