I use a Garmin 760 Camper, but do not use any apps.

this might be worth a read.

Gps
I don’t tend to use the gps input in mine.
Have installed the custom poi file from search for sites and view those on phone, use the navigate part to copy the gps coordinates then use the garmin connect app to send to satnag.

For post codes I use an app called delm8 this will let you do just about the same as above but you pinpoint the listing from the post code.

Hi I have done point of interest in search for site. But where do you convert the figures to long and lat!

Hi, if you are 2 numbers short just use 2 zeros at the end of co ordinates. Which set are you using? Also search for sites has the app you just need to input the reference number starting with S, much easier. Hope this helps

you need to install the poi in to the garmin then as irnbru says you just enter the code for the site that starts with an s.

Just a random one from searchforsites. You do need to download the app and use the Garmin loader to get it on your Garmin.

You need to install the poi file from search for sites onto the garmin as a custom poi file then you can search by the s12345s codes

not the video link that I was looking for but if bob can do it I’m sure you can

i have added the POI and the search for s33167 (as a above) in this country works fine, but when i put a site in Portugal (Satnav Quick Search ID: S20579S) i get " cant find site" what am i doing wrong please?

 

[LesW]

If it's the same as my 760, go to the Where To? screen, scroll down to Custom POIs, then All Catergories.

If you've downloaded the Search for Sites POIs, just put the S number in the search box.

That's the one.. find the site you want on the S 4 Sites app (or website) and away you go.

Try updating the SFS app, you need to d/l and update your Garmin regularly to keep up with the latest additions on SFS.

It’s found it on mine.

How do you download the search for sites poi on the garmin?

from the S4S website there is 2 files, POI loader and the CSV of sites. plugged in my sat nav and opened PLO loader which linked to my laptop to the sat nav and transferred the file
