Hi,
"After many years of use my previously registered Garmin NuviCam6 has failed and I've replaced it yesterday with a 'DriveAssist 51 LMT-S with integrated Camera'. As I have a stored database of numerous personally created, and essential 'Custom POI's from my NuviCam6, I enquire whether I can use 'POI Loader' utility to transfer them for use on my new device. I don't wish to experiment blindly, hence this enquiry today. All updates have been applied to the new DriveAssist-51 via Garmin Express and it's registered on 11th July 2021".
I've sent the above question to Garmin Support today and received a very quick and polite reply from Michael advising I should follow this link:
Whilst the information therein is helpful I forgot to mention to Michael that my stored personal "CustomPOI's" back-ups are actually in csv format which I created and edited / updated in "Notepad" or "Excel" and thereafter overwrote those on to my NuviCam6 using the "POI Loader" utility. Unfortunately I cannot do a 'Device to Device' transfer of custom POI's data as Michaels link suggests because my NuviCam6 literally went up in smoke and is totally burned out and dead.
My question now is whether I can still safely use "POI Loader" utility to transform the backed-up csv compilation to "Custom POI's" under 'Categories' section on my new DriveAssist 51 LMT-S and access them for use accordingly? I use Windows 10 64bit for Garmin Express version 7.7.1.0
My apologies for this long winded post,
Kind regards. JOHN
