Custom POI Problems on the Oregon

[DaveInWNC]

I have an Oregon 300 running 3.15/3.70.

 

I am attempting to create a custom POI file. I began with a .kml file from Google earth, which I translated into a csv file with GPSBabel. I then moved the latitude column to give me a csv file of longitude, latitude, name , e.g. -82.02474,36.10681,Big Yellow Mtn. The POI Loader documentation says this format is valid.

 

I used POI Loader 2.5.3.0 to build and load a .gpi file onto my SD card under Garmin/POI. The POIs show up in “Extras” and behave exactly like built-in POIs except that the custom POI names never display. The symbol showing the location of the custom POI does display. The built-in POI’s display both location and name.

 

In the map setup I have tried various combinations of map detail and zoom level, but all to no avail.

My problem: The custom POI points display on the map, but the custom POI names do not. Where am I going wrong?

Custom POI names don't show up on the map screen.
