7. In the file name box enter a name of your choice followed by '.csv',
e.g. 'XYZ.csv'. Please note that the file name will appear in the

file under the name 'XYZ.csv', the destinations of this file will appear
in the sub-category XYZ.

10.2.2 Symbols for your own POIs
For each sub-category of your own POIs you can create a symbol
which is used to represent the destinations of this sub-category on the
map.
These symbols must be graphic files with the following characteristics:
► File format bmp (Bitmap) or png (Portable Network Graphic)
► Size max. 40x25 pixels
The graphic files must be saved in the same folder as the files with the
POIs.
The file name must be the same as the name of the category.
Example:
Destinations of the XYZ sub-category are saved in the 'XYZ.csv' file.
They are represented on the map by the 'XYZ.bmp' symbol.
10.2.3 POI-Import: Importing your own POIs onto the navigation
device
The files you have created with your own POIs and the related symbols
must still be transferred to the navigation device. This is very easy to do
with the Fresh software which can be downloaded free of charge from
our website www.garmin.com/pid.
10.3 Tracks
You can record any section of a route you take, even if it lies off the
digitalised road system.
You can record for example a bicycle tour and follow the same route
again some time later.
Tracks are saved in KML data format. KML is a widely used data
format. You can also play back your tracks for example in Google Earth
on your PC.
