I am having difficulty getting the dealers loaded from my PC (Windows/XP) to my 2720. I know several of you have done this successfully, so I am asking for your help. Here is what I have done.

1) downloaded Garmin POILoader
2) Downloaded the dealer POIs (http://www.sundaymorningrides.com/poi/dealers/)

I have tried (and tried and tried and tried....) to get the file to load, but keep getting this error:

"There are no data files in that directory. Please specify a directory that contains at least one file with a .csv or .gpx extension."

I have tried to rename the file. NO GOOD. Downloaded from this link (http://www.vision-riders.com/files/Victory.4731.gpx.txt) - NO GOOD. Dropped the .txt extension. NO GOOD. Searched the web. NO GOOD.

If you want to save a Garmin, please help me. Otherwise, I'm going to smash the hell out of that little bastard....

Thanks - Ray

The only thing that worked for me on my Zumo using a Mac computer was to upload the dealer POI into Garmin Roadtrip software, then upload it into the Zumo as Favourites, not POI's

Raynman,
I just emailed you a file. Try saving it to your documents folder and then use the POI loader.

Thanks Dave. I am heading out of town tomorrow for a week. I will give it a shot when I return.

How old is this dealer list.  Many of the dealers on my POI list are now non-existent.  Does Victory have an updated list for 2009?
