Gamin GPI files questions
Hi , I have recently added the Europe map to my Nuvi 2597 on a SD card for my vacation to Europe.
I'm now experimenting adding different POIs to my SD card.
I found some.gpi files that i like and have added it in my Garmin folder in a POI folder I created
That seems to work. I see the various files and when I remove the SD card they are not there, which is what I expect.
What i don't understand is even if i remove some or all .gpi files I had put, the data is always there when i put in the SD card ??
If I put a certain folders twice, both appear even though its the same thing.
I presume my nuvi 2597 makes a copy somewhere even thought i removed all the .gpi files that I added ?
How can I remove those gpi files or clear them ?
aztech 222 Reviewed by aztech 222 on . Nuvi 2597 problems : Not detected with Garmin Express or Windows 10 / 64 bit Hi There, I've been struggling for a few days with two Nuvi 2597. The first Nuvi plugged in Windows 10 / 64 bit could not see the Garmin.Why ? I have no idea so I could not update it ... The second Nuvi plugged in Windows 10 / 64 bit COULD see the Garmin so I updated to the latest 8.80 Software and 5.08.11 firmware. All was fine with the second nuvi I plugged and unplugged many times for a few days UNTIL i put a microSD with an unlocked western Europe map image with a gmapprom.img Rating: 5Last edited by Garmin_Nuvi; 9th August 2022 at 05:01 AM.

My appologies, I thought it was the right thing to do, to create a new post since its the same nuvi 2597 burt a different problem but It's ok with me i will continue here ;-)
I'm not in Europe yet thats why I'm trying to organise my POIs before i leave so that I will be able to use those POIs properly.
I did more testing yesterday : i also removed all .gpi files from the Nuvi 2597 itself but same results, i always see my POIs in : Categories / Custom POIs they just accumulate, I can't seem to erase them ...Last edited by aztech 222; 9th August 2022 at 08:01 PM.
