Calling Garmin experts......

This is the website with the POI's but for some reason I just can't seem to convert them to Garmin POI files or waypoints. If anyone can help waypoints would be my preference, POI would be ok too, and I'm after all three. I've really no idea why I can't get the POI loader to work but I've tried and tried all to no avail, must be something simple

They should already be in the standard poi-list? Unless you plan to go somewhere really remote, you will not need them anyway. Petrol stations are everywhere.

+1 ThorH. Just back from Sweden. Never considered using the Garmin to look for fuel. Easier than here to be honest.

That'll do for me Heading up through Sweden to the North Cape and back down along the Norwegian coast at the end of the month.

Thanks guys

Petrol Stations

Was up that way last year and had no problems with petrol stations in Norway or Sweden. Most have a 24hr pump that allows you to pop in your card and fill up. I was often riding at 12 midnight and sometimes at 2 and 3 in the morning cause you can up there - midnight sun and all that.

One problem I did have was passing through Finland, the pumps wouldn't accept any 'European' cards. Despite Finland being in the Euro. Wasn't there in the normal working hours to try paying cash.

When coming back through Norway do yourself a favour and get off the E6 as soon as you can. e.g. go up to Tromso and then follow the coast all the way to Trondheim via the Lofotons. A lot of ferries but the scenery is simply fabulous. It gives your backside a rest and a different perspective on the scenery when on the ferry.
