Hello, I just transformed some of the KMZ files offered by the NYS DEC:
http://www.dec.ny.gov/geodata/ptk
Here they are:
- Accessible Recreation: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29782
- DEC Mountain Bike Trails: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29783
- Boat Launch Sites: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29784
- DEC Campgrounds: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29785
- DEC Hiking Trails: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29786
- Fishing Stream Angler Parking: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29787
- DEC Cross-Country Ski Trails: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29789
Since the NYS DEC publishes their data in KMZ files, I wrote an Asp.Net Web Application that downloads the KMZ file, extracts the KML file, and uses XSL to transform the KML points to CSV files. I posted the source here if anyone's interested:
Edit: I also have it all in a ZIP file if you'd like it, it might be easier to view that way.
CSV naming
I noticed on my Garmin that it uses the file names for the POI category. I'll rename them to something a bit more useful. Does anyone know what characters are allowed, or should I just use some trial and error with my own device?
Thanks!

All files refreshed
All files have been refreshed with latest data and been given more useful names. I've also added a disclaimer to the descriptions as requested by the NYS DEC.
