Importing to Garmin unit gpx file as POI


Oregiano

Recommended Posts

I have spent several hour searching for the right option importing gpx file as POI to Garmin Oregon and as POI with proximity alert to Car Nuvi.

Gpx file is a 200 kB file of historical objects and locations.

 

Please give advice! Thanks!

 

Devices I have: handheld Oregon 550, Nuvi 1340. PC Windows 7.

 

When trying to open gpx with Map Source there an error File history.gpx "couldn't be imported"

 

I found also interesting but from 2008 and possibly is outdated:

The site which is rather confusing and links to URL which doesn't work.

Unfoertunately I couldn't get any help from here :-(

I'm not sure if it the one I need after all other findings:

Plus several methods with end with imported track instead of POI layer.
