Using Custom Points of
Interest
Use the POI Loader to load custom
points of interest (POIs) onto your
nüvi. POI databases are available
from various companies on the
Internet. Some custom databases
contain alert information for points,
such as safety cameras and school
zones.
Go to www.garmin.com/extras, and
click POI Loader to install the POI
Loader onto your computer. For
more information, refer to the POI
Loader Help le. Press F1 to open
the Help le.
To view your Custom POIs, touch
Where To? > Extras > Custom
POIs.
To change the proximity alert
settings, touch Tools > Settings
> Proximity Points > Proximity
Alerts.
To delete the Custom POIs from
your nüvi, connect your nüvi to your
computer. Open the POI folder in the
nüvi drive or the memory card drive.
Delete the le named poi.gpi.
Using Safety Cameras
Safety camera information is
available in some locations. Check
http://my.garmin.com for availability.
For these locations, the nüvi includes
the locations of hundreds of safety
cameras. Your nüvi alerts you when
you are approaching a safety camera
and can warn you if you are driving
too fast. The data is updated at least
weekly, so you always have access to
the most up-to-date information.
You can purchase a new region
or extend an existing subscription
at any time. Each region that you
purchase has an expiration date.
