Welcome

I assume that you are aware that every time you run POI Loader that it creates a new poi.gpi file (effectively overwriting any previous poi.gpi file). If one wants to save the results of a previous run of POI Loader, one must include those POIs within the folder to which POI Loader is pointed OR go into the \Garmin\POI folder on the Nuvi and rename poi.gpi to something else.

I am going to suggest that you go through several exercises that are intended to bring you up to a reasonable understanding of POI loading. Find these at
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/6654

One of these exercises will let you get a user's manual assuming you do not already have one.

Before you do any more POI loading, PLEASE do a backup of you unit as detailed in one of the beginner exercises.

YES!!!!!!!
