Trying to find POI's for Super 8 motels. By typing that into the search nothing shows up.
I suppose that means there is none?

Try this
I've not used it but I see this and it appears to be actively maintained with a last update date of 1/23/2013:

Oddly, I do not see it appear in the alphabetical listing of all POI files and it also does not appear in the Lodging category list. I found it by using the "Search for POI Files" button using the search term "Super."
The alphabetical list does offer the Canadian version but it may be very outdated:

For anyone with a nuvi using the latter Canadian-only file, be sure to rename the file before loading it with POI Loader since the numeral "8" in the filename will cause you some grief if loaded with the numeral present.
PS--I've alerted TPTB so that all the above may be moot if/when the lists and filenames are corrected by JM or GlobeTurtle.
try
super eight instead of super 8
fixed
....Oddly, I do not see it appear in the alphabetical listing of all POI files and it also does not appear in the Lodging category list....
It's fixed and now shows in both lists. (It had not been assigned a category, so it did not appear on either list.)

Super 8
This evening I di see the "Super Eight" POI file come up.
I did not think of aphabetizing the numeral 8, since it is Super 8 on their hotel signs and all their advertising.
But I have it downloaded to my computer now.
