I purchase Camps Australia POI file and it downloaded to Zumo 550 no problem. How can I transfer the POI file into Basecamp on my PC and run it within CN Aust & NZ 2024?
TIA,
Craig

Note your device must be connected or you need to copy the poi files to a removeable drive and use that instead.

Re: Import POI from Zumo 550
In Basecamp, go under the File menu, select New, then create a new Folder and create a new List, with name Camps (example for name).
Connect your zumo 550 to computer, then in Basecamp under the Device menu. select Receive From Device.
maybe you can find your POI camp files in the 550 and copy them into your new Camp list on Basecamp.
sorry, I'm not much help, that's all I know

or you can connect your 550 to computer, and use file explorer to look at the 550 files and copy/paste the Camp POI files to a folder on your computer, and from computer then copy/paste those POI files into a new List folder in Basecamp, those POI files probably have a .gpx file extension

Thanks for the advise, but I can't get it to transfer. It is a gpi file if that makes a difference.
I tried the receive from method with no luck.
My menu has the Manage Custom POI... not highlighted so I can't choose that option.

POI files have a .gpi extension, you can't put them into lists etc in BaseCamptwowheelstom wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 2:42 pm or you can connect your 550 to computer, and use file explorer to look at the 550 files and copy/paste the Camp POI files to a folder on your computer, and from computer then copy/paste those POI files into a new List folder in Basecamp, those POI files probably have a .gpx file extension

Re: Import POI from Zumo 550
Can POI files have .gpx extension? I have lots of gpx files in basecamp, or is .gpi something different, I didn't know gpi extension existed

Thanks sussamb for clearing this up.
Well that's no good is it!! Speed zones, school zones, Red light cameras, and other POI are only available on the 550 and can't be seen on computer screen. Is that what I understand?
If that is so, I bet nobody from Garmin has tried to do a detailed route on a Zumo 550 screen.
