I have a 2010 Honda Goldwing with Garmin Navigation. I have been able to add IMG files which I have created without problems. Polylines and points, however the points (POI's) do not appear on any list, only on the overlay map itself. I have attempted using POI Loader but the unit still will not recognise the POI. I also tried installing a .gpx file of the POI manually adding it to the root and Garmin folders without success.

The Garmin rep stated I need to use Honda Trip Planner to load Routes and POI but I think he fails to understand that I do not have a 2012 model, I have a 2010. Even so I tried using HTP without success.

My question is: Is there a possibility that I could update the units firmware if able to obtain a copy of the 2012 firmware? The units look indentical (but). Or is a hack available that would allow me to use .gpx file and /or POI Loader?

I could send a copy of my original OEM SD Card if someone wants to examine the files. When maps and firmware are updated it is required to purchase a new SD card from Garmin. I have already upgraded my map to 2013.10 and unlocked it on the copied SD card via other avenues, thanks to the information posted here on this forum.

Ultimately I would like to be able to create TourGuides for use by motorcyclists including those on Honda GoldWings prior to 2012.

Thanks,

Clyde
