miketree Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I have a Garmin Venture GPSr & would like to take advantage of the POI memory. I would like to put my own POIs. Does anyone know of any software that can do this? Quote Link to comment

I would like to put my own POIs. Does anyone know of any software that can do this? YES the apps that make custom maps for Garmin GPSr's will also make only POI's for non map models. you will need: "cgpsmapper" for the IMG creation and "sendmap" to transfer to the GPS. available at http://gps.chrisb.org/ Also I would recomend getting "Mapedit" which uses the cgpsmapper to do its magic in a graphical format, and has many import features for the waypoints to POI you would need. http://kgy.narod.ru/util/mapedit/mapedit_e.htm How to links: (may be a bit outdated, since new features are developing fast) http://www.gpsinformation.net/gpsmapper/gpsmapper.htm http://www.keenpeople.com/geocaching/custom.shtml http://www.gpsnuts.com/Ozi/OziMCJohnG/vector.html More rules = Less fun!

+DougsBrat Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Forgot to say that all the above info and products are free! More rules = Less fun! [/url] Quote Link to comment
+FarSideX Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The free version of cGPSmapper does not do POIs. MapEdit does not yet support them because of that. There are other ways of doing them but they are not user friendly. HexEdit comes to mind FarSideX Took tupperware container - Left nothing. Quote Link to comment
+DougsBrat Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Actually the free cgpsmapper will do POI's, but is limited in the address or lookup feature??? I have placed them in some of my maps and call up the closest POI's of a given type in my gps and there they are! More rules = Less fun! [/url] Quote Link to comment
miketree Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 I had a play lat night but things didn't go well. I made a file with a POI,ran it through cGPSmapper. It said everthing was fine. Then uploaded it to my Etrex Venture, but There is nothing in the POI list. Hmmmmm Quote Link to comment
