Hi - Please bear with me, I'm a GPS newbie. I have a Garmin 750 and just loaded the Staples locations POI file using the POI Loader. I got a successful message that it transferred over, however when I go into Point of Interests and do a search for staples, I don't see them. Since I've never done this before I'm just assuming that it should show up there, right?
Thanks for any help!

Finding custom POIs
They are loaded into a separate section. I'm not sure with the Garmin 750, but on my c530, select Where To, Select Custom POIs, and then they will appear.
Garmin StreetPilot c530, Mapsource
Custom POIs
Go to Where to > Extras > Custom POIs.

Welcome to the site.Now that you got started on downloading the files and most likely hooked like the rest of us.You may want to look at setting up subfolders before you get to far along.See this node http://www.poi-factory.com/node/8674

Thanks!
Thank you... I found the custom POI, right there as suggested in the extra areas... thank you so much. Yup, I'm hooked now especially after the other day when I was trying to find the closest Staples and found out here that Garmin doesn't seem to do a good job listing them. I'm heading over to the link that was just recommended.
Best,
