About the GPI file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .GPI files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The GPI file extension is used by several programs particularly Garmin. For this, the GPI file extension is used to save Point of Interest Files. The program uses the GPI file extension for the program's custom Points of Interest (POI) for the GPS receivers. These points of interests may include restaurants, post offices, hotels, emergency services, restaurants, museums or any place of interest. These Points of Interests are indicated by tiny icons on the displayed maps. The program has also created a special kind of POI known as the Garmin Tourguide.
