Hello,

I have downloaded bothe type of files and have copied it to the IGO/content/poi directory, but cannot find the POI category when I search for POI´s. I also do not have the iGO userdata POI directory.

Thanks for startup help Smile

This is what I do:

- Save KML downloads to your PC
- Copy all saved KML files to igo8/content/userdata/poi
(Create userdata folder and poi folder under it if you can't find them on your unit.)

iGO8 is slow to process new additions. It'll take some time if you add many new KML files. You will also be asked to associate POI icons with new files.

The most important with iGO is to be patient!

Hi,

Does this also apply for speedcam poi's? I am having difficulty getting them all to show up on maps.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi All

I'm having a little trouble with the KML or tex files
I have followed the path igo8/content/userdata/poi , there was no userdata / poi folder so I made one and added a KML file to it , expecting to see the new poi to show up , however nothing at all showed and i was not asked to add an icon to the file either , What em I doing wrong here???

Help

Cheers Marty

Marty,

The first thing is to do is , enter Igo, then click on Manage, then POI, and then you should find your KML at the END of list, not alfabetically. Also, many Igo versions don't show the icon for the file, but instead just a yellow globe.

HTHs
