Campercontact files: Uploaded to a Garmin unit - Can't see 'em all! (1 Viewer)

[wingman]

I've recently changed my old Sat-Nag and bought a Lidl (?Aldi) Garmin Nuvi 58 LMT. Considering the price, I'm well pleased with it so far.
My question is, I've uploaded files from Campercontact but whereas the POI loader says (for example) 'You have successfully uploaded 3,500 files to your device', there ain't 3,500 ON the device; it would appear that there's no more than 25 odd for each country that I've loaded. There should be enough storage, because I've installed a 16gig card. Am I missing a trick here?

Thanks for any advice
James

Is it only searching up to a certain distance e.g. 25 miles so only showing a few?

That depends which sat nav you are using.The new tomtom don't show poi icons on the map but garmin etc will providing you install the relevant bmp file.I have all campercontact files showing on my copilot app.

Op asked about a garmin and the website quote was for a garmin. But if this not true I'll give you an informative.

Providing the bitmap (bmp file)has exactly the same name as the poi(csv file)it will show on a Garmin sat nav.If this is not true I will hang my head in shame

Could do with a button "read the bloody post" save you having to explain yourself!

Can you compare the sizes of the files on the Garmin to the CC download file?
