Searching Specific POI set

I'm new to my unit so my question might be obvious:
When I've installed several POI sets to my device, how can I see the most proximate one/ search them *from a particular set*?
My unit is a Garmin eTrex HCx and I have for example the POI sets for all the Beer Stores and LCBOs here in Ontario. When I go to Find>Custom POI I get a huge list of addresses. It lumps all the custom POIs from all the sets together.
Anyone with a similar unit know what I mean and what I should do?
best,

Set them up in folders on your computer before you load them. The folders will create categories.
You can't have more than one level of subfolder. The files themselves will create the subcategory.
For example, it might look like this.
> My POI (Main folder)
>> IHOP (subfolder)
... IHOP.csv
... IHOP.bmp
>> National Parks (subfolder)
... National Parks.gpx
... National Monuments.gpx
... National Recreation areas.gpx
... National Parks.bmp
... National Monuments.bmp
etc.
In this example, IHOP and National Parks show up as categories and then under National Parks, the subcategories of National Parks, National Monuments, and National Recreation Areas show up.
Great, but....
Thanks! Do I need to do this by putting the card into my computer and setting up this filesystem direct, or can I do it via POI Loader?

As MM said, Set them up on your computer and then use POI Loader to load them onto your GPSr.
