Not sure how to display POI in Mapsource

« on: May 22, 2009, 09:11:06 AM »

Hello folks, I would love to display the Montana POI within mapsource. I have loaded them (i think) from Garmins POI loader. However, it doesn't seem to display them within topo USA or any other custom Montana maps. Thanks for the help, you guys are great

The POIs are seperate. You can display them on the GPS, and find them but to display them in MapSource you'll have to open the POI files (convert the csv to gpx).

They're not built into the map.

To convert the csv files to gpx go to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com
