NavMan
Every version of NAVMAN has different instructions for uploading the POI file. Please
download the Navman Innkeepers Lodge POI zip file and refer to your instruction manual.
You can download instruction manuals for all models of NAVMAN equipment from
www.navman.com (select “User Manuals” from the Left Hand Side) specify the proximity
alert distances for each individual file.
Garmin
In order to use the POI's on Garmin Satnav equipment you need the Garmin POI Loader
software which can be found at: http://www.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=927
Make sure that all POI files (.csv and .bmp) are in the same folder - i.e. if you use these files
along with other hotel chains POI’s, make sure these are in the same folder as the POI's
from Innkeepers Lodge. (Each time you upload new POI files it wipes out any previously
loaded custom points so make sure all the POI files are in the same folder.
Uploading the files:
- Unzip the POI files into a folder (eg "My Documents\Garmin POI's")
- Make sure POI Loader software is installed and then connect your Garmin Unit (or memory card) to your PC using the supplied USB lead (or card reader)
- If the software does not automatically start, open it now.
- Browse for your POI folder and follow the on screen instructions.
- Garmin recommend using the auto mode but there is a manual upload selection where you can specify the proximity alert distances for each individual file.
