How to Create a Custom POI With Garmin

    • 1). Download the Garmin POI Loader from the official Garmin website (see Resources). Install the Garmin POI Loader to your computer by following the provided instructions. The POI Loader is a free download that allows you add custom points of interest to your Garmin GPS device.

    • 2). Create a custom point of interest .csv file using MS Excel or a similar program. Enter the custom point of interest's longitude, latitude, name, optional alert speed and comment in the following format: <Lon>,<Lat>,["]<Name>[@<Alert Speed>]["],["] [comment]["]. Repeat process to add additional custom points of interest.

    • 3). Create a custom point of interest with Garmin MapSource. If you have the Garmin MapSource software you may prefer to create your custom points of interest in .gpx format using Garmin MapSource. Create a Waypoint and in the "Waypoint Properties" box enter the name of your custom point of interest and click "Okay." Select "File," followed by "Save As" and name your file. From the "Save As Type" drop-down menu, select "GPS Exchange Format" or .gpx and then click "Save."

    • 4). Use the Garmin POI Loader program to find your custom point of interest files on your computer. Upload the custom point of interest files to your Garmin GPS device. If you prefer, you can upload the custom point of interest files to a third-party SD card for use in your Garmin GPS device.

    • 5). Access your custom point of interest files on your Garmin GPS device by selecting "Where To?" from the "Main Menu" screen. From the "Where To?" menu screen select "Points of Interest" and choose "Custom."
