Crazy Question (loading more than one set of POIs)

I am sure you can it, but here is my crazy question. Stupid, probably.
Can you load more than 1 set of POI's onto your Garmin? I have a 760. I dowloaded the Red Light Camera POI, which I love. I then tried to download the Walmart/Sams stores POI from this sight. When I downloaded the Walmart/Sams stores, I lost my Red Light.
I am probably doing something wrong with POI Loader.
Thanks in advance. I look forward to learning as there are more POI files I would like to download as well.
Search the FAQ here
But in a nutshell, put all the POI files you want into a single folder on your PC where you can find it, name it something like My POI. Then use POI Loader to roll up the contents of that folder and stuff it into your nuvi.
Whenever you run POI Loader it will replace what is on your nuvi with whatever is in that folder.
This question comes up a lot and if you search the strings, you will find much more detailed explanations on how to do this.

Thanks so much! You must be
Thanks so much! That makes sense. I have noticed that about POI loader.

Another method.
You can also go and rename the poi file on the gps to some other name and load a second poi file, rename the new one and repeat.

Im a fan of the rename
Im a fan of the rename option myself, maybe the subfolder also provides you with different lists for your pois? But I like the ability to update or remove just specific pois without having to reload them all, etc.
Maybe the folder method gives them different names as well? But I know for sure with the rename option you will then be able to click on your poi based on how you loaded them, ie reststops, redlights, walmarts, brewpubs, etc.
Works great -- you can just click and see where the closest brewpub is
I prefer to rename
There has been plenty of chat as to a prefered method. There is none, only personal preference. Renaming works best for me.
One can search this forum for threads on this topic.

Crazy Question
Put all POI files in one folder on your PC and load them from there with the POI loader.
