Multiple POI files I-75 corridor ON to FL

Like others, this time of year I drive from the frozen north to the (hopefully) warmer climes of Florida. To make my garmin 855 more useful, I have created a series of files covering the I-75 corridor between Ontario and Key West. These include the major hotel chains, a selection of chain restaurants and some other odds and ends of interest to me.
These files contain POIs "immediately" adjacent to I-75 and the other major highways in Florida. This makes it a lot easier when trying to select a POI near a city. Instead of all POIs within a radius, I only get those actually near the highway I am on.. Many thanks to Turboccc for his EPE program. I used it extensively.
I thought others may find these files useful. However, there about 30 of them. Uploading them one at a time would be a time consuming effort. I was wondering if it were possible to upload by folders.Alternatively, I could combine the files, one would be all hotels in the corridor, the other all the restaurants. These would be large files, but I suppose you could download them and then sort into the original chains.
Of course, it may be that no-one has any interest at all in the files, so I'll do nothing.
Comments would be appreciated.
Good Idea
Good idea, and if there is any interest in this, I have done a similar thing with POI's for the west coast - Washington, Oregon and California.

I-75 Yes Please
Did you ever get the files uploaded? I would be very interested.
Thanks
Good Idea To Combine
I see no issue with combining in a few categories, such as Lodging, Gas, Food, etc.
The GPS will sort them based on distance. If you want hotels, you will automatically see the closest ones first, and the approx. distance to each one.
Knowing that everything is just off the I-75 will make it dead easy to choose your next stop. Regardless if it's Gas, Food, or Hotel, the distance shown in miles will be darn close to the time to get there, in minutes, assuming speed limit is around 60 MPH.
I'd love to see your files, as would most Snowbirds.

Have These Been Uploaded to POI Factory?
Have you uploaded these? With winter coming, there are many snowbirds that would be interested.
