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

Yes, check the "Emulate POI Loader" in the Preferences.

I thought then they show up under Custom POI's?
I was hoping to have them as separate category in the Point of Interest

Yes, they should show up in Custom POI. If you just do a "Save as" .gpi, the file name should be the name of the category. I just checked the file was the same (more or less) than POI Loader. I have not tested if you do "Export by ...".

Yes, sound alerts are next in line. I just need to do some extra work to use sox.exe to convert audio file that are at a different sampling rate than 44100 Hz.

I think it should work. If POI Loader works for you, EPE should work too. Please do try and let us know.

1). I found that symbol size is the same size of icon from firmware. (Nice !! )
2). Speed alert works fine now.

Thanks. Good to know. Yes, I am still alive. Just a bit tired with all the work at the office. I should be releasing something soon with the custom wav audio alerts.

Hello ,
I Have a Garmin nuvi 660 and when I put the .gpi file in /garmin/poi , this file is shown under WhereTo/Extra as "POI made with EPE"

Can I change this name in something others ( Like "Camperplaces" or "campings")

Greets,

Edit: Fixed and added to next release.

I completely forgot to post the link that fixes this issue. Let me know if it works for you.
