Is there anyway to link a picture to the POI? If I have a photograph of an address loaded on my Nuvi, is there anyway to link it to the POI and display it?

Hmm
Interesting idea, but I don't know of any way to link a specific POI to a photo and have it display on the GPSr.
The picture viewer function is stand-alone within the GPSr. It just lets you scroll through pictures.

How about TourGuides?
But I'm not sure if they work on the 2xx series.
Pictures
I deliver to all the Rite Aids in southern California, I have a custom POI for everyone I go too. I have a over head picture of each store connected to the POI of that store, So when I bring up a POI and can also look at the picture to see where and how to get in the parking lot to get where I have to deliver. Great for explaining and showing to other drivers that have not been to that store yet. I use Microsoft live maps and use the birds eye veiw, copy the pic and create in photshop and add it to the .gpx file
Example
I cant't paste it... Grrr
GPX format

Absolutely, though you'll have to use .gpx format to create your POIs. The <link> 'field' is used to reference the attached JPEG.

I do know TourGuides work on the nuvi 250W, but don't know of other models in the 2xx series.

TourGuides are audio

TourGuides are just a type of Custom Audio alert. They are not a pre-requisite for an attached JPEG.
