Garmin Nuvi 680. I loaded a bunch of POI's, including Fast Food TourGuides, and they keep popping up on my screen. I don't want them to.
I am on a Mac, and have use POI Loader to 'remove all POI's' and I've even gone into the units file system and removed them manually, however they keep popping up on the screen.
I even hard reset the unit turning on while pressing a corner, but they are still there.
How do I get rid of them? Any help would be appreciated!

My understanding is that you have to empty the trash bin on a Mac after you delete them.Not a Mac user but have seen post on this problem.

On the GPS Unit
You go into the GPS as a mass storage device and find poi.gpi which has your custom poi files.
Delete it for a fresh start. (back it up first, just in case.)
Double check on the SD Card too, if you have one.

Poi Loader
Did you rename your file after it was loaded? If not, just load a new custom poi file to the unit. It will delete any old poi files.
The other advice here is good. Check the mac area for more info.

You need to reconnect the unit to the Mac and empty the trash.
