Thread: Extra_POI_Editor up to v5.97 (.gpi file creation discussion - like POI Loader and more)

Now, you are clear. You want 2-level categories. Although I know (or at least I knew) how to do it, I do not think it is currently implemented in EPE. I have not worked on this for some time now. I looked at the code and I do not see the second level category. I just remember testing it in the early days. So I assume it is not there yet.

My recommendation is to use POI Loader to create the .gpi file.

Ok, thanks Turbo

After many failures, I think I finally have a working Win 7 installer for EPE. The link can be found on Post #1.

The installer is only required on the first installation and if the program is complaining about missing OCX or other library files. After that, you can only overwrite the installed EPE by the new version.

kudos: I want to thank VersatileGuy for his help in creating this working installer. His knowledge and help were really appreciated. Thanks.

love it, one of the best tools for working on extended POI lists so far...
was looking a while for such editor... wonder why Garmin not coming up with e equal solution...
anyway.. keep up your brilliant work.
big thanks

I know I wrote that stuff somewhere, but I do not remember if it is here or on POI-Factory. As stated in my previous post you quoted, the 37xx suports only 256-color map symbol. I think Magenta is used for transparency and the map symbols can be 20x20 pixels max. Anything above will be cropped. As for the Where-To symbols, I suggest to use the 32-bit bitmap format. It works nicely and it supports the transparency correctly.

Thanks. I will try again. Regards

Hi,
ich bin von anfang an begeistert von diesem Programm für mein Garmin Zumo 550.
Gibt es eine moöglichkeit, meine eigene POI zu meinen Android Navigon zu übertragen. Oder irgend eine app um meine eigenen POI zu verwalten, von der ich dann Navigon oder GoogleMaps in Android starte. Suche schon seit wochen im www und habe auf GooglePlay alle Programme getestet.
Danke für Antworten.

@turboccc, thanks a lot for the great tool. Now I can generate my "favorite" into GPI. I also tried to add pic to the custom POI and generate GPI via Garmin POI loader, but unfortunitely, the pic is not showed in my nuvi 2595, this means the pic can only be seen using TourGuides? Thanks again.
