I have got my first Garmin, it's a Nuvi 58LMT and have converted my old TomTom files to gpx. I've found however that the POI support is PC based and so useless to me as I wish to add my own custom POI's on the go to custom made categories.
So I was told the only way to do this is to use the favourites, which only holds 1000 locations.
However there's no simple way that I've found that I can add all of the current POI's from my TomTom in one go. I converted them to gpx files and added them, but in the device interface you can only add 1 favourite at a time to a category: I have about 800 :s
So I added 1 location the a category I made and then converted the gpx "current" file to an xml file. I could see the xml code that Garmin had added to that location to assign it to the category and assign a symbol to it. I then added the same code to a couple of other locations in the list using an xml editor thinking this might work. However it doesn't and I don't know why.
So, does anyone know how to bulk add TomTom POI's to Garmin favourites? Or how to alter the Garmin file so that the device actually reads it?
