I just downloaded a POI...campgrounds to my computer. I put it on the desktop. However, when I try to use the Garmin program to transfer it to my gps, it cannot find it on my computer. I click on browse, but it does not show up as being on my desktop. It is in Excel, and for some reason does not recognize it. How do I transfer it to my gps?

The file needs to be a .csv or .gpx file. If you opened the file in Excel and modified it, make sure you saved it as a .csv. If saved as an Excel file you will not be able to find it in POI Loader.
