Both to custom POIs?

gpx format is supposed to be the standard way for gps software and devices to exchange information. Well, one day... smile

POI Loader reads .csv files and .gpx files, which it uses to create "Custom POI's".

The Garmin unit uses .gpx files for Favourites (and if you're one of the chosen ones), Routes and Tracks.

And

MapSource can open and save .gpx files, but not csv.

And if you were to copy a GPX file to your unit, it would probably get read into your Favorites or at least the unit would give you the option to import it into your Favorites.
