You have to create a POI folder inside the Garmin folder of you device X:/Garmin/POI/ To have them all on my EDGE I am using POI support. Why bother with POI on Edge? Edge support only 200 Waypoints and I have a data base of more than 42000 POIs. I started working on POI support on Edge 1030 with experiences coming from the edge 800.and follow on products. Use of POI on Edge 1030 and other Edge products, has mentioned, POI support by Garmin evolved along the product line. Thanks a lot - I am close to giving up frustrated:-( Is this possible with the 1030 as well or will I lose this capability?Īny kind of hint is very much appreciated. I was using CompeGPSLand - a very simple program that allows you to drag and drop the POIs to the track - deal done. I am able to add them manually to the course - time consuming and boring. Unfortunately the POIs are getting lost although the FIT format obviously supports the handling of POIs. Converting it into a course will create the FIT file that I can upload/synch with the 1030. When I import the GPX as an activity into Garmin connect this will work. Depending on the track some of these POIs are attached to the GPX files (whenever a track comes 'close' to a POI it was added to the track and will show with the tag ' and (optionally) with an assigned symbol (tags. I created a lot of POIs (point of interest) and also a lot of GPX tracks. The 1030 should add value to this by being able to route (which it can do) and also adds online functionality (which I am having issues with but this is a separate thread). I used to have a Twonav device that I mainly used to follow predefined tracks which was fine.

Post navigation ← Server Wake-on-LAN on access How to Install Ubuntu 14.I am a total newbie with GARMIN so my problem may not even be related to Edge 1030. This entry was posted in Uncategorized on by admin. Once on the device, select a color for all the track segments and check “show on map”. Don’t worry, you can still go back to your project, unlock each segment and rename it by clicking its name by the lock icon. One important note – all the track segments must have names that differ in the first several characters, as Garmin devices limit the name lengths, and it might happen that, as you upload gpx tracks, the tracks will overwrite each other. If you place them into a single project, you can right-click and save the project folder as a single gpx file that contains multiple tracks – the file can be uploaded at once. Now repeat the operation until all you have are sub-500px tracks. Cancel if there are too many points, save if you like it. (unfortunately, I could not find any indication on how many points I am cutting off before I actually do it). Note that new track name will show how many points it will contain. Now let’s split it: switch back to map view tab, click on a point on the track and select scissors on the menu that appears. Let’s unlock the file, so it can be modified: right click on track, select edit, in the edit track tab that appears click on the lock icon and agree to unlock the file. Lovely how Qmapshack shows map and terrain, isn’t it? “Open SFF 100K” folder in Data window and double-click on the track.

Let’s see the complete track on map: In Qmapshack, File-> Load GIS Data, select the gpx file.

Here is how to do it with a free Qmapshack program:Īs an example, I took a 100km ride track from Strawberry Fields Forever ride. Many Garmin devices have a limit of how many points a gpx track might have. You can bypass the limit by splitting a GPS track to segments of 500 points or less.
