I loaded several POI's from this website using POI Loader and I can see the files in my POI folder on the NUVI but when I go to EXTRAS to view the custom POI's nothing is listed. Any help would be greatly appreciated by this Newbie.
TIA for any help you can provide,
Clarification Please

POI Loader takes all of the CSV and GPX files within the source folder you point it to and places all of their contents into a SINGLE file called POI.gpi in your Garmin/POI folder on either the Nuvi or a card. If you run POI Loader multiple times it will overwrite the file each time you run it. Therefore, I'm confused when you say, "I can see the files in my POI folder on the Nuvi."
When you go to Extras, there is normally a category called Custom-POIs. Pressing on Custom-POIs normally reveals the various categories created by either filenames or sub-folders, depending on the structure you set up on your computer.
So, exactly what do you see?
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.
POI Upload Problems
Thanks BentBiker but after I posted I started fiddling with it and of course I found that I didn't see the files until I pressed again on the custom poi page and then up pops my directory with all my POI files. I'm embarrased at my stupidity but thank you for your quick response.
