Dumb Noob POI question

[Reap]

Sorry for the question, but is there a guide on how to d/l and install POI's anywhere? So many things I am unsure about for instance, on the d/l page does 'Other(CSV)' mean all gps except TT?
Where do I get POIloader etc? File formats and so on
I have a garmin 660FM
Thanks

Garmin units use POILoader which you download from Garmin website.

When downloading from here go for the Other (CSV)

POILoader - Click here

Make a folder on your PC called POI, put all you POIs in this folder (unzip them first). Connect your Nuvi and run POILoader, when asked where you POIs are browse to the folder with the POIs in. It'll then upload the lot to your Nuvi.

Note 1 - If you have a lot of POIs it can take a while to upload them

Note 2 - If you change one POI you must upload them ALL again as it wipes out all POIs before installing the new ones.

Any problems - shout.

Thank you Paul, that made it very easy I have them installed and working already.
Am I to take it if I want to add more POI's I just put them in the POI folder and then upload the whole lot again?

One last question (well 2 actually), I downloaded POI's from the Travis Perkins site of all their builders merchants, they do not seem to be represented on the POI's here so can I upload them without breaking copyright?
Finally, they are all in Tom Tom format, is there any way to convert these to CSV for the garmin?

Thanks again

Thanks again, I managed to convert them to CSV and they work on my Garmin (at least in simulator mode)
I will indeed email Travis Perkins for permission to upload here.
