Loading POIs

Loading POI files from The Factory to a Garmin device means downloading the POI's csv or gpx file. You don't double-click or extract anything from these csv and/or gpx files.

Just have them in a folder on your computer and use POI Loader to install them to your nuvi:

Thanks for the Link

Thank you for the Poi Loader link, CraigW. I am setting up a new computer and this made it easy to find one of the files that I needed.
