Load up one POI file. Bring up your card in Windows explorer - by either putting the GPS into Mass Storage mode, or by loading the card in a card reader. Explore to GarminPOI - the file will be named POI.gpi (IIRC). Rename the file to something more memorable. Then load up a new file with POI loader, making sure you don't clear all the files. Repeat as desired. If you copy the .gpi files to your PC, you will be able to selectively load them up, or remove them as needed. Although POI loader will only create one gpi file, the GPS will read any *.gpi file in the POI folder. Another (more manageable) method…
