Ok Im tired of looking. I have read post after post I have been to GPSUnderground and a couple others. I believe I may have screwed up my POIs for TN by copying the POIs from http://gpssoftware.us/igo8.3.htm. I downloaded the TN maps from that site too but that did not work either! (I backed up my TN map so Im good there I should of done the same for POI's)

 

What I need to know is how or where can I get updated files for my unit, it still has 2007 maps. I am more in need of updated POI's but the maps would be nice too. I also want to know can I add Grocery Store Poi's to my unit. Last thing if I am looking for a hotel in another city what's the fastest way to do it? With my D3 when I hit POI I had an option for what city and state I wanted to search in.

search for 2008.04 maps or 2007.7 maps

I found the 2008.04 but when I installed the TN map the roads did not show up. I desperately need to get my POI's back. I installed the updated Poi's for all the states I travel thru and the unit does not recognize any of them. So its as if there are no POI's for the states I updated. I got the POI's form here http://gpssoftware.us/igo8.3.htm

Did you also get the "hacked" ezrider.exe file? You can't run the new 04.2008 maps without it.

 

Oh, and the updated POIs on that site you mentioned should also be OK (but NOT the maps from that site, they're too new for our systems)

I was just about to say I downloaded the ezrider.exe and now my POI's work. Thanks for the heads up on the maps though.
