Got a lot of this figured out. still having one problem right now, maybe more problems later i dont know yet tho, My problem area is in XL, i get the file into XL but having problems trying to format XL to come out like i want, The name of the place shows up ok but when i try to add a address and phone number it goes whacko, all shows up on one line on the garmin screen, not like "their poi's," any suggestions, all help is appreciated,
thanks.
Since you have a 530, you
Since you have a 530, you will want to use alt+return to make it go to the next line. Nuvis you have to use < Br > without the spaces.

thanks RT.
I been working with this XL and colums A&B are a no brainer being poi editor fixes that one, Colum C is easy to correct, Column D is where i was having the problem but got that one figured out, took me a while to move the info into the correct spacing so it would show correctly so i think i got the XL part figured out.
How do you make multiple poi files into one file, when I go to custom poi and after that they all show up as individual ones, is there a way to save it so when you go to custom poi and then it show a catagory like RESTURANTS and then have them listed after that.

Yes

Set it up like so:
[folder]MyCustomPOIs
...[folder]Gas Stations
......[file]Gas Station One.csv
......[file]Gas Station Two.csv
...[folder]Rest Areas
......[file]Rest Areas One.csv
......[file]Rest Areas Two.csv
Just put multiple folders under the main folder. When using POI Loader, point to the top level folder. Don't use number digits (i.e. 1,2,3,4, etc) in the names unless you want alerts.
Hope this answers your question.
