[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1255551, member: 19880"] Fred I just read your great write-up on adding (and organizing) POI files on the Garmin. Well done! Will the Garmin recognize the files if they are stored on an auxiliary card rather than in the unit's main memory? Works for routes (and apparently maps but haven't tried it). Even on the Zumo 665, there is precious little additional main memory available after installing some of the recent LARGE mapsets. I've deleted all of the "extra" languages/voices/vehicles etc. to maximize space but don't have a very large amount of leftover for POIs. Does the system slow noticeably if you invoke the extra POI files? If it is displaying the stuff on the screen, the points must be "living" in the active memory. I did not realize that the added POI would show up as screen icons - very helpful. It would be nice if Garmin provided the means to edit the stock POI file that comes with the map downloads. I'm sure they take up a large amount of space and the only things I regularly search for are gas stations, hotels and places to eat. [/QUOTE]
