Hi, Mike, I see you are up early, too! I am using the CD's that came with
the GPS i originally got. The date on them is June 1, 2004. The separate POI
disk says something like POI and Docs, July, 2004. Is that still OK? You
determined that I was using 3.0 the other day at the Mass Commission. Time
for that upgrade, but in the meantime, I'm trying to get this to work before
I set out today...

Alice,
You can't mix versions. The 3.0 maps and POIs have to match your 3.0 software. Otherwise, the files won't load properly.

I have not upgraded *yet!* ha ha
I've been using the massachusetts maps, and the POI's were there for those. Now, I've loaded the New York maps, and it is for those that the POI's are not there. I had Richard Flint copy them onto both the micro drive on which the Massachusetts maps were already, and also onto a compact flash. I just now tried to open the maps folder on the compact flash on my computer, but it won't let me open the folder, so I don't know about the 35 thing.
I actually now just checked the Map CD, Nothing starts with 35. We also copied off files from a separate CD that was in with the maps that says POI on it. I tried re-copying those myself yesterday, but I still get that same message.
I just now went into that POI CD and copied just Massachusetts and New York onto the flash. I tried opening the folders both from the CD and from the flash, but the computer won't let me do it. So... we'll see what happens later today. Gotta run!
Thanks.

Alice,
Have a look at your maps folder and make sure there are files starting with 35 in that folder. those are the commercial POI folders. If you upgraded from another version, make sure all the old files are gone.

OK, I've got maps loaded for my next venture. I also loaded the POI stuff from the POI CD-rom onto the flash card. The maps seem to be working fine, but when I try to find POI's, I am told there are none loaded. When I go into the options menu to the poi folder option, no matter what I do, it reverts back to flash disk, and they are supposedly on the compact flash. I get the following message:
0 commercial poi files loaded, exception: command 398 at 20125. access violation reading 0
What's going on?
