I am new at developing/creating poi files. I have a general question. Is it possible to have a folder with subfolders under the folder? For example, I would like to have a top folder "subject campgrounds" and then subfolders for each state.

Yes, As long as you are

Yes,
As long as you are using the beta version of poi-loader, and I think you might have to load it manually instead of express, but I am not sure on that point.

Thanks for the reponse. Can you please give me an example of the top folder title format?

Top Folder Format

Using POI Loader (Beta) you can use it both in manual or express mode.
I have top folders setup as follows:
Locations
Store
Texas Specific
Radio Stations.

I also have a Contacts file (friends addresses) and a WiFi file at the main level.

Therefore, I have a download folder on my PC and within that folder I have the 4 separate folders plus the two additional folders. Then I have my individual folders loaded appropriately. Running PoiLoader (Beta) and pointing to the download folder is all I have to do.
