This is where you post any changes that need to happen with this POI Package.

I am ready to transfer this file to a new maintainer.
Let me know if you would like to be in charge of updating and maintaining this project. You will need to be a regular user that is here for the long term;)

Thanks Gary

This file has very little changes. I think you can handle it. I am switching Maintainers right now. Your first task is to enter the location that has been mentioned in this thread. Don't forget to mention who turned it in.

First Aophiuchus thanks for your time and effort here. Second, where is this POI file located at? Third, in using the poi after downloading it are the files incoperated into the 760 or do you have to open it specifically somehow? Again thanks and sorry for all the questions.

If you notice in the first post from Miss Poi, there is a link. You can also go to the poi page and search for lowes. After you load files (on a Garmin) they are usually found under Where To / Extras / Custom Pois.
