Using Gamin's POI Loader

New at this so I assume I am missing a step somewhere.

If I go to Garmin?Extras and the POI Factory, log in and then save the top file on the list--Rest Areas Combined (Version M)--it saves to my unit as a .CSV file which opens with Excell.

If I try and use Garmin's POI loader to load that I get an error with these key lines:

I just returned to the Phoenix area from my bi-weekly commute to Las Vegas. On this trip I saw more mobile DPS radar vans than in previous circuits.

Garmin Nuvi software reciprocity

Has anyone tried to load a different version of the Nuvi software to a different model GPS unit...aKa like using the Nuvi 5000 software on a Nuvi 200. I was wondering if it would work so that my GPS would have truck routing capability.

Can't find the newly installed POI

New guy so be patient. I downloaded and installed the Combined Rest Area POI file to my Nuvi 260. There are several POI categories for the pre-installed POIs, but I can't find the new ones. Should I have also downloaded an icon to make it work?

Map Uninstall

My MapSource shows that I have 2009, 2009.1, and 2010.1 ... Where do I go to uninstall the 2009 ones and can I uninstall them without affecting 2010.1?

MapSource.exe and MapInstall.exe

Due to limited space I have on my laptop, I am planning to delete the Garmin folder. This folder was created when I did an 2010 MapUpdate. Inside of this folder are MapSource.exe and MapInstall.exe (alone with many xxx.dll files). What are they for? When I opened them it looks like I can install the states (instead of all 50) that I want. My manual didn't go a lot of detail about it.

Updating POI files

Just a general question. If a person submits a file, can another person update it? It doesn't matter but over the past while I've had a couple files I submitted updated by someone other than myself. I guess I don't understand the process.

Chicago Traffic Service, Pay for Clear Channel?

I was wondering if anyone has experience with the lifetime free traffic vs the paid clear channel traffic in Chicago? I know they have recently added sensors to a lot of county roads and routes but I can't figure out if there is much of a difference between the two traffic services since they don't provide a list of detailed coverage.

2010.2 maps

I just got an email saying "June is Map Update Month" but it doesn't show up in "My Account" under "Manage Maps" and the Nuvi is connected. I should mention I have purchased Lifetime Maps. Has anyone found where they have hidden them or are they not really available? Nothing shows up in WebUpDater either.

POIs to Favorites

I loaded routes and POIs into my 750.
When I loaded them, the POIs (maybe the ones attached to the routes) also went to favorites.

I didn't want all of them in my favorites so I deleted the ones from favorites I did not want.

While I am on Vacation I would like some of them to be back in Favorites.

Is there a way to pull into Favorites from my POIs?
