Can I load POI's into Mapsource, and if so, how is it done and how do I view them??

POIs
They're built-in into the map.

Loading POI's to Mapsource
I guess I should have been more specific. I meant to ask about custom POI's.
Convert to GPX first
You need to convert your POI files to GPX format first. MapSource doesn't read CSV files.
If the custom POI
If the custom POI is on the Nuvi then it is in a file called poi.gpi. In order to see them in Mapsource you will need to get a program like GPSBabel that can convert the gpi file into a gpx file.

POI's
Thanks everyone, I downloaded a free CSV to GPX converter and it seemed to work with some files and not with others.
