(POI)
Data
to
the
Navig8r
The
Navig8r
is
supplied
with
a
vast
number
of
Points
of
Interest
but
may
not
include
the
ones
that
are
important
to
you.
There
are
several
sources
of
Points
of
Interest
files
that
are
available
free
to
download
from
the
Internet
that
caters
for
specific
needs.
Some
of
the
POI
included
are
supplied
by
POIDB.COM
and
are
two
sites
that
offer
a
variety
of
POI
files
in
various
formats
that
have
been
complied
by
GPS
users
in
a
wide
variety
of
categories.
The
Navig8r
will
read
data
from
OV2
format
POI
files.
(Some
purchased
files
may
not
be
compatible
with
the
NAVIG8R).
Download
the
POI
file
that
you
want
on
your
GPS
to
a
folder
on
your
computer.
The
POI
data
may
be
in
2
parts:
the
data
file
and
an
image
file
that
provides
an
icon
for
the
POIs.
For
this
example
a
file
for
Bowling
Clubs
in
the
OV2
format
will
be
used.
