loading POI on multiple units

I just found this site and must say its awesome. Quick question. I have 2 Garmin units I want to load POI's too. One is MP3 compatible and the other is not. I have MP3 files for some of my POI's I plan to load. Do I have to maintain two separate folders on my computer to load to the two units (one without MP3's and one with) or is the loader smart enough to not cause an issue and only load what is compatible?

No problem.

POI Loader will just not load the mp3 alerts to the unit that has no mp3 player. On the other hand, you can convert the mp3's to wav and both units will play them. You must load Sox.exe to the folder containing POI Loader and a search here will direct you to the correct version.

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.
