Just want to 'add' POIs to Garmin 765t

I havent found any info on this. If I already have added my own POIs. Then lets say, I wanted to add Rest Stop POIs later. Do I have to delete all my POIs and then add them all back again, or can I just add the Rest Stop POI stuff to what is already on the unit? Would constructing the POIs into categories (individual folders) enable me to just add, or edit a mp3 alert on the unit? Or is that just for organizational purposes? I just bought my 765t and wondering the best way of managing my POIs. I originally just put all my POIs in one folder in Windows then using POILoader, loaded them onto the 765t. Used to be, on my old C340 everything had to be removed, then start over from scratch adding POIs. Is that still the rule?

Unless you are the lead sled dog, the view never changes. I is retard... every day is Saturday! I still use the Garmin 3590 LMT even tho I upgraded to the Garmin 61 LMT. Bigger screen is not always better in my opinion.

It will overwrite

Ever time you load new POI it overwrites the current file. I open up the poi file in my unit and rename it as the actual fie so I don't over write file not needed to be updated. Makes it much more manageable.

I Use Separate Folders

For my extra POI's I use subject related sub folders under a general folder. In my Documents it looks like this:

Garmin POI
>Alerts
>Food
>Places to Go

When I use the POI Loader I reference the Garmin POI folder and everything comes over neatly organized. IF you search a bit there are some very complete descriptions of the uploading.
