Just received a nuvi 360 and discovered your site. I am trying to create new POI's for those addresses that are not listed on Garmin. However, I was unable to transfer a .cvs file through the POI loader that I downloaded from Garmin. I would also like to do this for Favorites can you categorize that way as well because I have friends whose addresses are not available as well. Thanks.
should be a .csv file :)

Be sure that your format is correct.

Also, while you can't categorizes your Favorites, you can create a Custom POI file or files with the locations and categorize them however you want by creating different files.
Categorizing POI files
Thank you. I was able to get to accept the .csv file. How do I get it to categorize the "Friend's Addresses as a POI? Thanks.

Well, it depends on how you want to categorize them. If you want them all in one category as "Friends", create a single POI file with all the addresses in the file. You will need to get the latitude and longitude for each address.
Or if you want to break them down in some other way, create separate files.
For example, you might have something like this.
>My POIs (main folder)
>Food (subfolder)
..McDonalds.csv
..Burger King.csv
>Friends (subfolder)
..School Friends.csv
..Work Friends.csv
..Old Friends.csv
etc.
The subfolders will create the categories. You can't have more than one level of subfolder.
Friends
Thank you. Great Answer.
