i am new to this game having just bought a garmin nuvi 200w
i have tried to download some poi's but when i try to extract them i get either an INVALID OR CORRUPT FILE WARNING or a NO FILES TO EXTRACT message. am i doing something wrong?

if you try to download the files in small amounts and check the show link icon this may help you to download them. Say 25-30 per download.

Stick to 22 and you will be safe, 25 Is absolute maximum but iffy.

if you want to recombine them use poiedit and append the files into one.
