Ok i downloaded and istalled POI Loader and all, and it successfully installed onto the Nuvi 660, now how can i look for them to see if they are in system?
I thought i would have a separate folder in Nuvi while being able to browse for the file of "Rest Rooms" i put there
They are in the folder marked
edit:
This is accesing them from your computer's explorer. Unit or SD card>Garmin>Poi, listed as poi.gpi...
They can be accessed from the gps by where to>Extras>Custom pois> be sure to tap custom pois.....

We were all newbies once, so we are patient and helpful so that you can become knowledgable like us.
There is no reason to be mean to people that are just learning. It is much more fun to help people grow and learn a new skill.

Not sure this really was answered. Each time you run POI Loader it creates a new POI.gpi file which overwrites the old. So you must reload every POI file every time by pointing to the main POI folder containing all your subfolders.
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.
