Now you have a link to your google map in the bookmarks menu.ģ) You want to make this link, and automatic KML output link. I also do it this way as it's easy to make partial or whole changes with minimal effort.Ģ) Once done, right-click on the "Link to this page" link in the upper right of the window. Make all your reference points on the map and save it. In my case I have a day sites map and a night sites map. all the client sites (or points of interest that you're interested in). So for example you could create a custom google map for say. Google Maps, GPS babel and POI Loader beta for Mac.ġ) You start by creating your custom maps in Google, generally just to help you organize. I have a basic combination for POI files only. I got a system that for me is working quite well as I'm in a business where I need to create weekly routes, client sites, etc. I thought I'd post this even though some of it is covered here already. I haven't even received the Nuvi.I'm just an eager beaver. (This way if we're on a secondary road somewhere and change our plans on the fly I don't have to pull out the old Vermont map.)Īm I expecting too much? Is this possible to do? Is this project over my head? Perhaps I've don't have a solid grip on what POIs are and what they can do for me. I do a lot of traveling to resorts over the winter (Northeast) and I would like to transfer that data to my nuvi so I can route to it from wherever I am. I have a KML file on Google Earth that pinpoints every ski resort in North America.

I figured I'd get acquainted with the 200, then hand it down to my wife after I decide what kind of features I like/need and upgrade. I've been in the market for a gps for a while and the price was right. I just purchased a nuvi 200 on Woot yesterday. Thanks for all the help, I hope I'm not too much trouble. Where did you get the KML file to import, and what are trying to do with it? Are you trying to import a set of POIs or a track of a route?
