Maximum Number of Points of Interests That Can Fit on a Garmin Device

Custom  Points of Interest (POI) Loader can be loaded to most devices. These POIs take up space, and depending on how much data is in a POI or set of POIs will determine the size of each POI file.

There is no set limit on how many custom POIs can be loaded into the Garmin device. This depends on the size of the POI files and the space available for POIs. The size of the loaded POIs will depend on the amount of text included with each custom POI and the size of any included bitmaps.

Since POIs can be loaded into a device's internal memory or onto SD cards depending on the device, the space available will vary widely. Typically, you should be able to fit more than 3000 POIs onto a device. If the available space is exceeded, POI Loader will give you an error message.

The following devices can only have POIs loaded to dedicated 2MB of internal memory and will not use POIs loaded to an SD card.

  • StreetPilot c310
  • StreetPilot c320
  • StreetPilot c330
  • StreetPilot c340
  • Quest 2

The amount of space will usually determine how many POIs can be loaded. The more space you have on a given device, the more POIs will fit.
