Can-am Spyder Dealer list Zumo 660

I have done several searches and have not found the info I am looking for. I have a Zumo 660 that came with my 2013 Can-am Spyder. On it has a Spyder dealer list. It has its' own icon and is a menu item under "Where To?". The problem with this list is it is grossly out of date. From what I can tell it is from 2009. Someone made a new up to date gpx file to download on a Spyder specific site and he did a great job. When I install this file into the Garmin with POI Loader it appears under the extra icon. As I expected. I also renamed the file oempoi.gpi so the that the old dealers list icon no longer appears.
What I would like to do is create a new gpi file that that acts like the old one and puts an icon under the "Where To?" menu, but with the new data.

I believe

I believe Turbo was playing with this as a feature in Extra_POI_Editor (EPE). I never tried it, but it is in one of the 2 very long threads about EPE.

Success

I was able to create a gpi file that created a new menu item under the "Where To?" menu. As was suggested EPE software created by Turboccc did the job. It was a steep learning curve to figure out how to use the software. I could not find a tutorial that covered what I was doing. So I found the info needed was it the thread that covered the softwares' creation.

Thanks Turboccc

Now, about the tutorial, would you like to try writing one up?

Maybe?

I may write a tutorial but it won't be soon. I have suddenly become very busy. In a couple weeks I hopefully will return to my slower paced lifestyle.
