I am a newbie so please be gentle.
I have many GDB & GPX files that have useful info. How do I create a POI file from them?
Thanks.

GDB
If I'm not mistaken, the GDB filetype was changed to gpi, so keep that in mind as you read.
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.
GDB
A gdb extension is a Garmin GPS Database which is used in MapSource.
This appears to be an older file format. MPS files are used now. MapSource must be used to convert between .GDB and .MPS file formats
