I installed mapsource about three or four days ago and it worked fine for me.

Awesome info.  I just downloaded the GNIS info for Wisconsin, and it looks great.  I haven't  downloaded POI Loader yet, but I'm assuming that it is capable of converting the .txt file the GNIS points come in as to .gpx or .csv. 

I'll have to check when I'm by my GPS this evening, but I don't recall seeing the POI markers or the text labels when panning around.  I will make sure I'm using the settings you have listed there and try it again tonight.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply, and thanks for making the map!  I'm glad that I know that I'm not going crazy when I didn't see the POI's, ha!  I will certainly check out the US Planimetric when I get the chance.

May I ask, where did you acquire your data for the POI's you used for creating the Wisconsin 24k topo map?  If I were to load it as custom POI's via Garmin's POI loader, would it be more or less the same?

Cheers

Hi There,

I just recently purchased the Garmin 450 and installed the Wisconsin 24k Topo map.  I'm having trouble viewing the POI's, though.  When viewing the map in mapsource I'm able to see some street names, POI's, parks, etc.  However, when the map is loaded into the GPS unit, I am unable to see them.  I've zoomed from 500ft down to 20ft, and still no dice.  I've also changed the setting for the zoom level where the POI's and road names appear, from auto to everything from 500ft down to 20ft without any luck. 

Am I supposed to load these PO's seperately or adjust another setting?

Cheers
