Nuvi 42LM Crashes , opening POI from GSAK


Recommended Posts

I have been using GSAK and a Garmin Nuvi 42lm for several years,but I have a new issue lately. For a couple months I received an error when I loaded GPX files with Garmin POI loader. I use the Macro "GPX by type" version 7.17.0 and send files to my handheld Etrex Summit and then to the Nuvi. The error was an invalid file and then gave the path. If i tried it again or deleted and started over I could get it to load. I was able to see the caches but when I click on one it crashes my Nuvi.. Thinking about reinstalling POI Loader, or Nuvi Maps? any other suggestions?

 

Thanks in Advance, Larry

The following works for me...

Save the gpx file to your computer

Open this gpx file in notepad

Find and delete all occurrences of ???? and maybe ??? (use the search function!)

These can occur in cache names or logs!

Save the file

Re-open in GSAK

Export nto nuvi ... works for me using Nuvi 255W but probably all the same...
