Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to load a Google Maps route into a Garmin 250 Nuvi, perhaps as a list of Points of Interest?

Is it possible to convert a TomTom POI file for use by a Garmin?

Not sure about that one - I think there will eb some standard Garmin ones rather than trying to convert tomtom ones.

Mind you, they're no more than waypoints I guess so you must be able to do something?!

try POIconverter - I've used it to convert from garmin to tomtom, it will convert the other way as well.

Hiya

Thanks.

I will play around over the next couple of hours, while I await the arrival of a file for a hoon tomorrow!


Ciao!
