POILoader
POILoader is a utility application developed by Garmin that allows users to load custom Point of Interest (POI) data onto compatible Garmin GPS devices. The app is used by GPS enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and navigation users who want to extend their Garmin device's functionality with custom POI databases such as restaurants, fuel stations, landmarks, and other waypoints. Users can download or create POI files and transfer them to their Garmin devices via USB connection. It's an essential tool for anyone customizing their Garmin GPS experience beyond the device's default capabilities.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionNo native Apple Silicon version of POILoader has been released. Garmin's development status for this utility is unclear from available information, and the app (last known version 2.4.2) may not be actively maintained. Since this is a specialized utility with limited alternatives, your best options are: (1) Continue using the Intel version via Rosetta 2 if it still functions reliably with your Garmin device; (2) Check Garmin's official website or contact their support directly to inquire whether a universal binary version is planned or whether an alternative method exists for managing POI data on your device; or (3) Explore web-based alternatives or community tools if Garmin has deprecated this particular tool in favor of newer POI management methods. Given that Garmin's official support may have shifted, direct contact with Garmin is your most reliable next step.
