ACSI POIs for Garmin Satnavs

[Falcon 269]

I've checked the Sat Nav forum and Resources but couldn't find what I'm looking for so hoping for some help, please. Do any of you good folk know where I can get up-to-date ACSI POI files for the Garmin 660? I've looked on the ACSI website, too, with no luck.

Alternatively, do you happen to know if the ACSI locations are updated automatically in Garmin lifetime map updates for their Camper versions?

Many thanks.

You could try Archies Camping website.

go to http://archiescampings.eu/ click on campsite with camping card at the bottom and a file will download with pois for all sat nav types

Thank you both. I've done that now although I found that the download wouldn't work using Mozilla Firefox. Got it no problems with IE, though.

I'm still curious to know - if anyone has the answer - whether or not Garmin themselves update Camper-related POIs in the lifetime map service. I'll contact them tomorrow but if someone already knows, so much the better.

Cheers!

I doubt Garmin do as the data isn't their's. The POI files are third party stuff.

The map files for the camper version includes ACSI and MHF points of inerest. How often Garmin get a update from those organisations is unclear. Annoyingly you can't turn off (well I haven't found how to) those POIs and they appear as you drive along.

Presumably you have a smartphone, if you have just install the ACSI app and that will give you up to date info

As mine also is the 660 camper, the ACSI and MHF come ready installed as does a variety of supermarkets.
It may be possible to contact Garmin (well that is of course) and see if you are able to download the camper version as an upgrade.

It's the Camper 660 version that I have so I'll ask that specific question when I get hold of Garmin - I hope.

Just had an online chat with a very helpful fella at Garmin. He confirms that they continually update the camper-specific POI's with the maps, provided they are given the updated information from the resources. Obviously this means that they rely on ACSI etc to pass on their updates but at least Garmin are doing their best.
