How do I make categories in my POI file similar to your Traffic camera POI files. I'm using the Costco list as a test. When I go into Garmin's POILoader. It loads the Costco stuff under extras, as individual stores. IE
selecting extras will give me
Costco San Francisco ...
Costco South San Francisco ...
etc...
I would like it to show
Costco Stores
and then once I click on that it will show me the above.
Short answer - no

If you want to have the stores separated by city, then you have to create a separate file for each city.
When you start doing that, you run into another limitation in the Garmin, the number of files in a folder. The limit is 32 files per folder.

Then why?
As I said above are the traffic camera poi's not separated into states?

Disregard a_user. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
All you have to do is create a folder called Costco and place that folder inside the folder where you currently save your POI files. Then move your costco poi file into the Costco folder.
When you run POI Loader you will still point it to the master folder.
So lets say all of your POI files are currently in a folder named Garmin. Create a subfolder inside the Garmin folder called Costco. Move the costco POI file into the Costco folder. Run POI Loader and keep it pointed to the Garmin folder.
..
Right now it says
All Categories
Redlight-Beta
Redlight-Cameras
Speed-Cameras
If I add in the Costco file. Then only the costco stores within 200 miles of me show up? I assume the red light files are still there.

He wanted the Costco file broken down by city.

Thank you I knew it could be done. So as it stands a_user strike 2.
Now let's see if I remember correctly in football is it 4 or 5 strikes and you're in??

It this instance it might very well be strike two but your overall average is way up there.
