How do I keep from overwriting previous loaded POI's?

The slickest way to not write over previous loaded POIs when loading a new POI is:

After you load your POI file, you will find in the \Garmin\Poi folder of your GPS a poi.gpi file. You can rename it to whatever you want (with the .gpi extension) and load another POI file.

EXAMPLE: Load the redlight file and you will see a file called poi.gpi. Rename it to Redlight.gpi. Load the Rest area file and you will again see the poi.gpi file. Rename it to RestArea.gpi. etc, etc. This method requires a GPS unit that shows as a hard drive on the computer.
