What is a GPI file?Files that contain the.gpi file extension are associated with Garmin GPS devices. The GPI files that are used by these GPS devices store the location and name of a user-defined POI (also known as a point of interest).A user's GPI files are used by the Garmin GPS device to generate navigational routes. For example, if a user wants directions to a favorite restaurant, the GPS device would reference the GPI file to provide the user with directions to the specific location.The Bitware Fax software also uses the.gpi file suffix. These files contain fax files that have been sent or received using the Bitware Fax software program.

Hello all,I have several img files which I want to put on a SD card (32GB) to use in my Oregon 600 Garmin device.When I copy unlocked images (checked with Protected Garmin File Toolkit v.2.2.5.4) from my laptop to the Garmin folder on my SD card located in the memory card reader of the same laptop the copy ends successfully but the img file is not seen by the garmin device afterwards. Also the PGF Tool does say that it is not a Garmin Image file after the copy because the DSKIMG signature is missing.What can I do to solve this problem?Does anybody recognizes this?

I expect that most of us here have never heard of Protected Garmin File Toolkit and in a Google search, I thought as sussamb did that this could be software use to pirate Garmin maps. We just wanted to hear you verify that your Garmin-made maps were properly obtained by you.Good luck. I copy the img file to a Garmin folder on 32 GB SD card which is formatted to FAT32.The img files which are working on my device don't give an error message in the used tool.
The img which are not visible do trow an error in the tool (this is not a garmin img file as the signature is missing (DSKIMG)), while the source does not.Could be related to map tiles off course, but from what I read is that it does not cause that the mapset does not show-up in the configuration list in the device only in the use of it.
