Two questions for a new nuvi owner (or would that be a newvi?)
Okay, if this is covered somewhere already, I apologize, but I can't find it and I have searched.
I've had my nuvi 760 for about a month now and really am enjoying it. I just have two questions that hopefully someone can answer.

POI'S
Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with this...I live in Alberta, Canada and have a Garmin Nuvi 250 which I just purchased.
I was in Lethbridge, Alberta and wanted to go to Costco, so I searched for it under Points of Interest, spell name, and the nearest one preloaded was in the USA.
I came home, used POI Loader, found a file for all the Costco's in the USA and Canada, and loaded it.

Is there a way to convert a ,mp3 file to a ,vpm file?
I am using Garmin Mobile XT on my Palm Treo 700w and want to incorporate a voice file with some POI files. The POI files have been created with the .mp3 files (both named the same, except for the extension) in the same directory, but the .mp3 files do not play. Any advice and specific examples would certainly be appreciated.

Nuvi 750
Someone please verify what I already suspect. My friend just bought a 750 and has Mapsource that he got with his 2610. So he is trying to use Mapsource to create and upload a route to the 750. I am not familiar with his 750 but am quite familiar with Mapsource because I have a 2610 and a 2820.

Does Nuvi know something I don't?
Here's my specific question which may lead to a more general discussion. Driving from downtown Los Angeles towards Irvine going southeast on I-5. Nuvi 660 wants to take me off I-5 to I-605 South and onto CA91 East and back on to I-5.

780 Poi
So, I just bought my new 780 tonight. My problem is that I have loaded poi files into it, but when I go to look at them on the computer to see where they have went I can not find them. The points show up on the map,but they are not in Garmin/poi like my 660 was. So where are they stored? I tried loading another set of points and it seemed to get rid of my first set. Anyone else had this problem?

Converting Rest Stops to Tour Guides?
How do I modify the files in my Rest Stop Folder so they function as Tour Guides? If this is possible, could someone provide an illustration> Do I have to change every entry in the folder (say, for Pennsylvania) or do I just change the name of the folder that I will save to my Nuvi 260W?
Thanks.

330C - Save Current Location
I have tried over and over again and I can not find a way to save the current location. Frequently addresses/locations are not in the s/w and I would like to save a location so the other users of my 330C can goto them easily.
Anyone?
