How I can organize my custom POI? I ahve all downloaded files (restaturats, shoppings, etc) under "All Categories". I want to have sub-categories, like restaurants, shoppings, electronics, etc.
I have a Graming 350
Thanks in advance

Addition information
Sorry, mine is a Garmin 350.
Here's an example of how I do it ...
You can have subfolders under your main folder, if you want. The folders will create categories. You can't have more than one level of subfolder. The files themselves will create the subcategory.
For example, it might look like this.
> My POI (Main folder)
>> IHOP (subfolder)
... IHOP.csv
... IHOP.bmp
>> National Parks (subfolder)
... National Parks.gpx
... National Monuments.gpx
... National Recreation areas.gpx
... National Parks.bmp
... National Monuments.bmp
etc.
In this example, IHOP and National Parks show up as categories and then under National Parks, the subcategories of National Parks, National Monuments, and National Recreation Areas show up.
Here are some screenshots of what it would look like.
This is a shot of the folder and files on my computer.

This is how the first level shows up on my GPS unit.

When I select the National Parks category, this is what I get.

Then if I select National Monuments, I get this.

Thanks for the screen shots MM
I haven't loaded new POI files to my nuvi 200 yet but have a few downloaded and ready to go. I like to use sub-folders to organize my files. The screen shots were really nice to see how things will look when I finally get this done!

Thanks
I followed your instructions and works fine.
Thanks again
