Nuvi 760 - I can't get the POI's to show up after using POI Loader

It all seems so simple...I read the directions for using the POI Loader...I thought I followed them correctly. I am obviously missing something(s)! This is frustrating. I am new to the GPS world. So...HELP!
I purchased a Nuvi 760. It works great! Love it!
Added a SanDisk 4GB SDHC Card. I downloaded the POI Loader and installed it. I downloaded the Diners,Drive-Ins,Dives POI file from this POI Factory site. Attached the 760 via USB to the computer.
I ran the POI Loader. I selected the GARMIN as the destination. POI Loader said...Congrat's, 192 files successfully installed etc.
BUT I cannot locate the Diners etc. that were "successfully" installed. I tried it again, using the SDHC card as the destination...same result...NO results! Except I could see the converted file on the SDHC card.
What do I need to do? How do I get the Nuvi 760 to find the custom POIs?
Thanks for any help, ideas,

From your description, they are loaded on the Garmin and not the SD card. They will be found on Where To/Extras/Custom POI.
To load them on the SD card, you need to select the SD card in the POI loader when it asks you for the destination.
ɐ‾nsǝɹ Just one click away from the end of the Internet
POIs
Touch Where To>Extras>Custom POIs
Make sure you touch Custom POIs and that should display the closest ~52 to your current location.

Thanks! Where To/Extras/Custom POI... so NOT intuitive.
Congrats on the new device!
Congrats on the new device! I'm a newbie as well and look forward to helping you out in the forums with my questions too ;p)
SD CARD
Do you have a card reader on your computer? I used the Garmin POI loader. The card is loaded directly
with the program it is easy and fast. Make a directory on you hard drive to save the places of interest. It is very simple just follow the directions. Do not put card into GPS till your done loading POI.
