To change this, go to Map Setup - Points, and set the "Map Points" zoom level to the desired value. For example, if you set this to 5 km, the custom POI will first appear at the 5 km zoom level, and also appear as you zoom in closer.

I managed to see using poiloader. Because I have a sub-problem with my PC I am no longer able to see file "help" using any program ... But it is for another forum .... I use another computer and read the help. Now I'm able to make such transfer on CSV and GPS Custom POI. But how it's done to see permanently on a map in the GPS as a church, a restaurant .... The only way to see them is to search the personal Poi and I am the way or nothing. ? thank you in advance Thank you LeszeK

But how it’s done to see permanently on a map in the GPS as a church, a restaurant ….

Whenever I ask; POIloader to incorporate the file in Garmin GPS, it tells me that he did not find valid file. Can I have an example how to write the CVS.

In EditPad, the individual entries show up on separate lines, but in Notepad, they run continuously. I suspect the file has only carriage-returns at the end of each line, but some editors (and programs like POILoader, maybe?) need to see a CR/LF at the end of every line.
