POI downloading

This has been discussed in detail in other threads, so I am not going to get detailed. However, you can do one of two things..

1) load the poi and then rename it to something that makes sense (from poi.gpi) and then load the second one

2) Put all of them in a folder and separate them by subfolders, but you can only go down one level.

You need to load all of them at the same time. Create a folder on your computer for your POI files and put all of them there.

You can have subfolders under your main folder, if you want. The folders will create categories. You can't have more than one level of subfolder. The files themselves will create the subcategory.

For example, it might look like this.

> My POI (Main folder)
>> IHOP (subfolder)
... IHOP.csv
... IHOP.bmp
>> National Parks (subfolder)
... National Parks.gpx
... National Monuments.gpx
... National Recreation areas.gpx
... National Parks.bmp
... National Monuments.bmp
etc.

In this example, IHOP and National Parks show up as categories and then under National Parks, the subcategories of National Parks, National Monuments, and National Recreation Areas show up.

Here are some screenshots of what it would look like.

This is a shot of the folder and files on my computer.

This is how the first level shows up on my GPS unit.

When I select the National Parks category, this is what I get.

Then if I select National Monuments, I get this.
