• No Documentation

  February 22, 2011

  Pros

  Its intended function to load POIs.

  Cons

  Lacking documentation esp of file format, how is one to use it? Basically non-functional without much trial & error.

  Summary

  May serve a very useful purpose, but Garmin has devoted almost no resources to documenting its software. That means relying on phone conversations with their tech support. Life is rather short...

• Valuable program - POI Loader

  sfoldenOctober 28, 2009

  Pros

  Keeps Point of Interests up to date

  Cons

  Loader could not find Garmin GPS when it is connected and turned on. Also asks for location of download after it has been downloaded without telling user where update was downloaded to, when what it really wanted destination location on device.

  Summary

  POI serves good purpose, so it is valuable, but as stated in the Cons section of this review it can be cleaned up as far as its finding of connected device and finding destination location for download on device instead of asking for downloaded location. Sorry if that sounds confusing. POI should be capable of finding the proper destination on the Garmin device without customer telling it, after figuring out that is what POI wanted rather than where on the computer it had downloaded the files.
