I'm trying to load custom POIs (with custom icons) into my Garmin 855. I've tried through POI Loader and MapSource. I'm having no luck. what am i missing?!
Note: i tried Walmarts first... and i do see them, but the others i've downloaded (ie: McDonalds) are not there.
I've tried erasing all and starting over... still only walmart. and none with the custom icons.
I'm stumped... this isn't easy.

You may want to try this
You may want to try this method for now and maybe later on go to Subfolders.
1.Make a folder on your computer and give it a name. Example My poi's.
2.Download the csv or gpx file and put them in that folder.
3.If you want to add a bmp . Download from site and also add to the same folder but make sure you name them the same as the file you want them to go with except the extensions.
>My pois=Main Folder
>>Dunkin Donuts.csv
>>Dunkin Donuts.bmp
>>Dunkin Donuts.mp3
>>Walmart.csv
>>Walmart.bmp
>>Walmart.mp3
4.Hook the gps up to computer using usb cable and then run poiloader. Select My pois folder.
5.If you want alerts use manual mode instead of express.
6.You should get message so many pois are loaded at the end of the download.
7.On GPS go to where to then extras and touch custom pois and you should see them.
8.Every time you run poiloader it will overwrite the existing files.
