You can use POI Loader
How do I load multiple POI files with POI Loader?
Each time you use POI Loader, it erases the custom points of interest in your GPS and replaces them with new ones.
If you want more than one category in your GPS, you need to load multiple POI files at the same time.
Here’s how:
* create a directory for POI files on your computer (if you haven’t already)
* place all of the POI files you want loaded together in this directory
* start POI loader and select the directory that contains your POI files
* POI Loader will find all of the POI files and let you set alerts for each one
When you’re finished, data from all of the files will be loaded together in your GPS.
I have Garmin 760 with Europe maps but I want to use it in Canada/USA, can suggest how I can load Canada/USA maps and what product I should buy.
want to be sure I don’t get a virus
Plug your 660 into your computer via the usb cable. This will create a virtual drive on your computer. On my computer it is Drive L:, but this will vary based on the other drives you have on your computer. Open this drive. You should see a directory called “Audible”. Place your audio books in that directory. I don’t know if this requires that they be in Audible format (.aa) for them to show up. The other option would be to put them in the MP3 directory, and treat them like mp3 music files. It should allow you to play them, but the bookmarking, etc. probably won’t work.
If the file needs to be in you may be able to find a convert from MP3 to AA format. I found one at http://www.all-music-converter.com/ that might do the job.
