CAUTION: Garmin is 

not responsible for the 
consequences of using a 
custom POI database or 
the accuracy of the safety 
camera or other custom 
POI database. 

Your c550 accepts custom points of interest (POI) databases, 
available from various companies on the Internet. Some custom 
POI databases contain alert information for points such as safety 
cameras and school zones. Your c550 can notify you with a 
proximity alarm when you approach one of these points.

After downloading your POI database, use the Garmin POI Loader 
to install the POIs into your unit. The POI Loader is available at 

http://www.garmin.com/products/c550

 and click 

. 

Using the POI Loader program, you can store the Custom POIs on 
your “Garmin” drive or your SD card. You can also customize the 
proximity alert settings for each POI using the POI Loader. Refer 
to the POI Loader Help File for more information; press F1 to 
open the Help File. 

To view your Custom POIs, touch

To delete the Custom POIs from your c550, connect your c550 to 
your computer. Open the “Garmin” drive or the SD Card drive. 
Locate the folder called “POI” in the folder called “Garmin.” Delete 
the file entitled “poi.gpi.”
