Welcome
You can submit these using the process below:

Submit a POI file
Email any new POI files to POIs@pocketgpsworld.com suggesting names for the Category and Subcategory to be used. Remember that all submitted files must be free of any copyright restrictions. Text files in the following format are preferred
longitude,latitude,"Title","Details"
where both the longitude and latitude values are in decimal degrees. For example -0.78707,51.23793,"Heath End","97 Farnborough Road, Farnham, Surrey GU9 9AL 01252 123456"
|
I would suggest that the appropriate Main heading is Special Interest with a sub-group Hampshire Wildlife Trust (or similar) _________________ Phil |

It will be when it's received. All the POIs from this site are available in TomTom or Garmin format. |

POI Edit will also convert between (and save in) several formats. |

Have just been on the PoiEdit website - Yes, Navman and MioMap V3 are formats that can be read/write by the software.
Link here http://www.poiedit.com/downloads.htm
How do you make them work - someone else will answer that one _________________ RQ
