Having 2 identical POI's, one factory preloaded and the other uploaded from this site

Thank you all for indulging this new GPS owner (Nuvi 360) in his quest for knowledge!!!

If I upload a list of custom POI's (e.g.- US hospitals) from this site, or others, and the information is duplicated in the factory preloaded POI's, does that create a problem, or does the poi icon simply display and show up twice?

I don't want to upload this list if it will create navigation confusion!! But hey, I'm new at this and don't understand the technical side yet.

Thanks again

Custom POI's

The custom POI's go into a separate area from the preloaded locations. They won't pull up in a search unless you select the Custom POIs on the "Where to" button.

I am a new owner of Mio

I am a new owner of Mio C310x. Instead of digging deep in the default preloaded POIs, I manually duplicated many POIs around the town I am living in and put them under my custom POI folder, so I could access them much faster. However there is no way to copy or resign preloaded POIs to my custom POI folder. It would be much user-friendly if I could do that.
