How lo load/store own POI files on GARMIN EDGE 1040?

Hi All,

On my EDGE 1030 it's easy to load my own Points of Interests categorised in several .gpi files like watertap points and favorite address.

Have several (category-) files (in .gpi format) which on the 1030 could be stored easily:
* Garmin
* map name POI
* submap name POI
* file names H2O and 'Fav Address'

worked like navigate/search/other/ H2O (resp Fav Address)

Here on the 1040 this trick doesn’t work and I cannot see where the standard POI files are stored.

Does anybody know how to load and store own .gpi (POI) files?

Thanks beforehand and kind regards,

Ronald

You can use Garmin Basecamp to add POI's to the unit

POIs or Locations?

Similar things but in different lists. One can also have many more POIs (and categorize them) too.

1030 can use "POI Loader"
But 1040 does not support

Yes. But I think some people are talking about locations (which are a different thing).

Can you see where the standard POI files are stored on the 1030?

(There's a POI folder on the 1030 but it's empty except for any gpi files you add.)
