I'm totally new to GPS. I've downloaded and loaded two POI files (wineries and zoos) to my Garmin 660 but I can't find any way to access them on the device. They're not in attractions, etc. Please help!

you have to have a .bmp file

you have to have a .bmp file with the same name as the poi and then load it into the GPSr. Then you still have to zoom in to see it. For some, 300Ft, for others 200ft.
