POI with pics and sound


Team Torque

Recommended Posts

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.

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:

It does sound interesting. Do you have any active links?
