(Well, except the whole thing where I bought it, then it upgraded shortly after, and I'd have to pay again to be able to use the newest version.) Aside from THAT, (and lots of my own stupidity) it's never let me down. I cannot say if it was Vista, but it sure looks like it.Īnyway, I'll stick with XP Pro until the next latest and greatest comes out. Now I can update all my DB's of the Atlantic Provinces off my PQs, and make POI files, and be off to the races. I settled on XP Pro, because of this and several other issues.Īnyway, after a format and install of XP Pro, I restored GSAK with the latest backup file (same one I was using with Vista) and all's well and good, just like it was before. (Actually more than that) I like to play.what can I say?.it was a long Canadian winter. Yes, some people love it, but I didn't.īought a new Dell a couple months ago, and it's been back and forth from XP Pro to Vista Ultimate about 10 times. Sorry I can't continue troubleshooting.this was the final nail in Vista's coffin for me. POI Loader version 2.5.2 (but tried two older versions as well) I have GSAK and the POI loader on my XP Pro computer at work, so I'll export my GSAK DBs and take them to work on a stick, and see if I can generate POIs with the same DBs there. Some help would be nice, if anyone's run into this before. I also tried older versions of the POI loader, no better.Īnyone run into this? Maybe GSAK restore in Vista from XP Pro settings might be causing a corrupt GPX output.? I've tried saving my GPX file in different locations, and telling it to save my POI file in different locations.no dice.Ī Google search didn't turn up much either. I installed Vista and then GSAK, and restored it from a backup I made before I installed Vista. When I stopped caching for the winter, everything had been working normally. ![]() See garminpoi for additional information about Garmins own Poiloader program. The format garmingpi supports the binary POI (.gpi) files that are usable on newer Garmin GPS receivers. Now, I have upgraded to Vista Ultimate, from XP Pro. This format has the following options: alerts, bitmap, category, hide, descr, notes, position, proximity, sleep, speed, unique, units, writecodec, languagecode. Yes, or No results in the POI loader saying that "No valid data was found in the specified folder, therefore no data was written." ![]() The error is "The file C:\Users\.whateverfilename.gpx is invalid. Now, when I generate a GPX file with GSAK, the same exact way I did last fall, it's failing when attempting to create a POI file. This used to work nice and slick.generate a gpx, and the POI loader would convert it quite nicely. I rename it to whatever applies, and then I can have oodles of caches on my Legend CX. It may still display, but not navigate to the location.Essentially, I generate a POI file for each of my GSAK databases. If the title of the site contains a comma then this will throw out the importing routine. The CSV stands for comma separated values. If you have a Garmin GPS what you do is go to Garmin web site and download the POI FACTORY loader and then go through the list of categories they have such as Home Depot, Red Lobster restaurants, Flying J, and many other categories', choose which ones you want and download them into your Garmin GPS. ![]() If you are having success with the archies camping poi's then I strongly suggest that the poi file from the c
