Reader Overview
FME considers a single Garmin POI file to be a dataset.
Each dataset consists of features with point geometry, and uses the LL84 coordinate system.
Writer Overview
The dataset is the destination filename. The feature type of each dataset is the filename.
The Garmin POI writer will only write data in decimal degrees (WGS84 datum). All features passed to the writer will be reprojected to LL84 (EPSG:4326) if this functionality is licensed. Features with no coordinate system are assumed to be in LL84.
The Garmin POI writer uses a fixed schema.
