No idea? but I do know that you have to click and drag files in order to update/add POI and then delete them once your done :rolleyes: so before you start playing make a complete copy of ALL the files and store them somewhere safe for emergencies! as it has been know for people to delete the wrong files!

and heres a link to a POI download site http://www.maft.co.uk/garmin/info_comp.htm

Gregers,

 

Not answering your question, but what made you move from the PDA?

 

Through work I have just got a new iPaq 6515 with TomTom and seems to be fine, although I need to source an appropraite holder for it.

 

Regards.

Oggy.

ogben.....in my area (eastbourne)my pda kept losing the satilites,and it was a pain in the jacksey having to set it up all the time,lovley bit of kit though just to technical for me,so hence why i bought an idiot proof sat nav,turn on and away you go,i sold my xda on e-bay with all the kit so i cant help you with the holder im afraid.

surely loss of satellite signal would be dpwn to the gps rec - usually the more modern sirfIII based rec are much better than the older sirfII based - what type did you have??

[gregers]

cant remember.....but if i was in the upstairs bedroom then it got the satilites no problem went out side to the car nothing,drive down the road restarted everything fine drove a few miles then lost em again very frustrating,but hey certain parts of the town and you wont recieve a signal on your mobile either.
