I downloaded the Garmin POI zip file , selecting the various categories I needed, from here to my computer. On trying to unzip it, it told me the file was corrupt. What am I doing wrong?
I am trying to add new POI's to my Nuvi 660.

Just tried again. Same message " file corrupt or damaged". Tried one category and multiple ones. Anywhere else where I can download some more POI's? Thanks.

IE 7 and then saw the notices about the problems with that browser. Did the same but clicked the click a link box and it downloaded all I wanted.
Another question? How do I get the PoI's to appear on my map? On TomTom they just appear but on the 660, they seem to be nowhere to be seen! I now have 100's of the darn things but they are hidden or are they just used to go to where you want to go.
Thanks
Doug
