Maximum Number of Custom POIs that can be Stored on a GPS Device

Custom Points of Interest (POIs) can be loaded to your Garmin GPS using our free POI Loader software.

There is no set limit on how many POIs can be loaded to a Garmin device. The only limitation is based on the available free space on the Garmin GPS device or SD card. The amount of space needed for the POIs will depend on the number and size of the .csv and .gpx files and the size of any included bitmap or MP3 files.

Typically, more than 3,000 Custom POIs will fit onto a device. If the available space is exceeded, POI Loader will display how much space is available in the device and how much space would be required to fit all the POIs that were chosen.

For more information about Custom POIs, visit the POI Loader page and review the topics listed on the right side of the page. You may also access POI Loader Help on Windows computers by running the program and clicking the Help button in the lower-right.
