We are seeing a lot of new members on these forums. I think it is great. They all have one thing in common. They all found, stumbled upon, found a link, etc. to the POI factory. I think that I saw a link on a review of GPSs, on line. I have told my friends by word of mouth.
I love to read the back of menus and learn the history of where I am eating. so I would love to know the background of The POI Factory.

At the top of every page you will see 3 blue tabs, click on POI files, scroll down to the bottom of that page to FAQ Garmin POI Loader. that will answer all your questions on how to load the files.

The garmin support site gave links to "the factory." The info here has been very helpful. Garmin did themselves a great favor by providing a link.

Many sites directing to POI-Factory
Being the new owner of a nuvi 660, I found POI-Factory referenced by Garmin.com; through LIVE search and by other sites that directed me back here. I must admit I've visited several enthusiast GPS sites offering downloads and new applicatiosn for use with your GPS but POI-Factory was IMO more popular and rich with knowledgeable users and useful downloads.
