Custom POIs (Points of Interest)

Your c550 accepts custom points of interest (POI) databases,
available from various companies on the Internet. Some custom
POI databases contain alert information for points such as safety
cameras and school zones. Your c550 can notify you with a
proximity alarm when you approach one of these points.
After downloading your POI database, use the Garmin POI Loader
to install the POIs into your unit. The POI Loader is available at
http://www.garmin.com/products/c550
Downloads.
Using the POI Loader program, you can store the Custom POIs on
your "Garmin" drive or your SD card. You can also customize the
proximity alert settings for each POI using the POI Loader. Refer
to the POI Loader Help File for more information; press F1 to
open the Help File.
To view your Custom POIs, touch
Custom POIs.
To delete the Custom POIs from your c550, connect your c550 to
your computer. Open the "Garmin" drive or the SD Card drive.
Locate the folder called "POI" in the folder called "Garmin." Delete
the file entitled "poi.gpi."
