Tourguide Question
I have never created or used a tourguide but I'm building the basic poi file that will eventually become my first. I'm understanding the basics, but I haven't found a specific answer to my question, so I'd like a little help.

POI Verifier
It looks as though POI Verifier is no longer available. Is it still a program with functions not found in EPE? I have read what you guys said about it and would like to try it. But can't find it anywhere. I love EPE but you always look for something better. It's hard to beat the price on EPE. LOL

managing multiple POI files
Can multiple POI files exist on a Garmin unit (nuvi or 60CSx) under different filenames?
IF YES
Would all of them be active at the same time?
OR
How would I load multiple CSV files into one GPI file?
AND
Would I need to RE-create that file every time a CSV file is changed or I want to add a new CSV file to it?
thanks

POIEdit works great
POIEdit works great. I downloaded it from http://www.poiedit.com/
The best part is the check box during the install that allows you to install it as a portable app!!
I have a TomTom and the conversion and editing in POIEdit is easy and quick.

Bug in POILoader 254?
I successfully ran POILoader on my XP/pro.sp3 laptop (although I haven't been able to get GHayman's MyHome POI sample to work yet).
I am trying the same thing using my Windows 7/64 bit PC but keep getting an error msg saying Windows cannot find c:\Garmin\sox.exe.

Navigation Systems in Toyota's
Well I had the misfortune of having to purchase a new car which is nice but the other car was paid for..My question since it came with a nice navigation system, and no I have not read the 500 page manual yet, is there a way to upgrade the POI's like my Garmin, I know you can update the maps, I want to know if you can upgrade the POI's.
Any help in this matter will be appreciated.

TourGuide radius plus speed alert
I have modified a School Zone file to fit my needs by removing (historical) locations and adding and/or fine tuning the coordinates for all schools in the Bentonville, AR School Dist. I also saved it as Schools_SouthEast_TourGuide with a radius of 800 feet. Not wanting to leave well enough alone, I would like to add one more thing.

Loosing the "I" or 9th column in CSV
I use EPE and have converted an XLS file to an "M" column CSV. When I open it everything is there. When I load it on my Garmin the "I" "comments" column disappears.

What characters are invalid (or valid if that's easier) in POI CSV filenames?
I originally posted the question here: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/29790 but it may have been the wrong place to ask it.
Thanks,

POI related applications
I'm not sure if anything like this already exists but I was thinking it would be nice to have an PC application that would scan highly rated POI files for specific types of POIs (good restaurants, breakfasts, rest areas, etc.) along a pre-specified route or highway (maybe within xx miles of route), for extraction to a new file.

No problem loading POI in 3790T but are POIs always flat
I used the diners, dumps, dives POI as a test. It loads and I find the POI list under Extras/Custom POIs. My question - Is there a way to have custom POIs show up under categories with an associated icon rather than a long list/flat file? For example, I would like to look under Extras/Custome POIs and see a icon (folder) for Diners and another icon for Fishing and ...
