I have a Garmin 770 and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have installed other truckstop poi's with their appropriate .bmp file and I know they have to match in name. However, when it comes to Love's I fail. Any suggestions?
Welcome
Welcome to the site.
We usually recommend the following.
There is a "Learn" button in the upper right of this page next to "red light cameras" that takes you to a Getting Started page. It is worthwhile visiting this page.
To make navigation easy, most browsers provide the following option. When you want to follow a link - but still keep your current page open - you can hold down the "Ctrl" key as you left-click on a link. That action will open a new "Tab" in your browser up on the "Tab" bar. When you then left-click on that new "Tab", you will follow the link - leaving the "Tab" you are now reading open and available to click on and return here.
So, using the "Learn" link, you might try the "Ctrl" - left-click sequence and then return here. You can return by either "X-ing" out of the "Getting Started" page (using the "X" on the "Tab" itself) or just left-clicking on the "Tab" for the page you are on right now.
Note that the Learn Button will give you access to two valuable reference pages -
the "Index" to all of the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and the Glossary of Terms and Links.
Since you are new here, I encourage you to go through a couple of the Tutorials.
The first link makes sure the settings on your computer are such that you can do more advanced POI loading.

The next link helps you make a backup of your GPS by attaching it to your computer. (NEVER do anything to your GPS until you have a backup). It also assures that you put your (newer) unit into a state where you can see all of the folders there.

Give us some details as to what you have done with Love's.
As best I can tell, there is not a separate POI file for Love's at poi-factory. Where did you get the file?
It would seem that there has been such a file, so maybe I need to ask "when" you got it.

If you are installing the CSV file from this location http://www.loves.com/LocateUs/GPSDownload.aspx .The longitude and latitude are reversed.Example now showing 31.419105 -87.00765 I-65, Exit 93 Love's #225 Evergreen Alabama 36401.(251) 578-4496 .The order needs to show column a=longitude and b=latitude.Just reverse them by copy and paste method.Correct order a=-87.00765 b=31.419105
