Merging Custom POIs With Main POI Database

I'm not looking to just make POIs for an upcoming trip, I'm trying to fill some of the gaping holes in my Garmin 660's main POI database. How do I make custom POIs fall into a desired category in my main "food, lodging, etc" database and not have it go into the "extras" folder where in my mind it's useless. I don't want half of my "Gamestop" locations in the main folder and the rest in the "Extras" folder. There must be a way to edit the main .gpi file.

Also, how do you assign a category to your custom POIs.

Thank You

merging with built-in POIs

I've seen a lot of interest in this, but so far I haven't found any examples of where this has been done.
