Nuvi 760 alert distance

Hi Ron
Send an email to Doug Tilley. He is the resident Guru on things Garmin, especially the Nuvi 760. I personally have found him to be an extremely helpful person and very quick with his answers to your queries. He has his own web page 'Doug and Dusty'.

Here ya go

Thanks for replies, but I'm still none the wiser.

I know how to install POI's, and they work.

But I wanted to use Garmins POI loader to set the alert distance, but my POI files are .GPI and it wants .CSV or .GPX

tried changing file extension, no good.

Can anyone tell me how they successfully got Garmin POI loader to set the alert distance for POI's to say 300 or 400mtrs?

The Advanced type POI for Red Light Camera's and Schools etc are a .gpi file , I can't open them , but the ones I make myself as a gpx file I can set the distance to what ever I want ...right out to 1000Klm plus , download the narrow bridges file I have on my webpage and if you have Mapsource it should open and then do a properties on it and you will see I have varying distances around bridges , this file is mainly only any use to Oversize Pilots but you'll see what I mean, with the Advanced POI's you do not use POI uploader to install them, see instructions on my GPS WEBPAGE
If you need some more help email me ,

While on the subject of POI's I thought I would check the accuracy of some from the GPS Data Team website , Woolworths in Cloncurry , wrong street, Harvey Norman in NT it's in Berrimah , they have it as being at Coolalinga, only 19.7 Klm wrong..
I think you would find discrepancies in all of them
