I installed Custom points of interest one by one :(

I didnt release each time I loaded up a gpx, bmp, wav file for each custom point, it would overwrite the last ones. So I ended up spending an hour doing them one by one, and then finding only the last custom point of interest installed in the gps.

so you're supposed to do them all at once? Does this mean I have to keep them all in a folder so that if I just want to add something to the list, I add it to that folder? is there a way to make it not overwrite the previous custom points of interest?

Hi
This issue is already well explained in our Garmin GPS forum.
You need to keep all poi files on a disk.
See this: http://poidirectory.com/forum/topic/3210.html#7737
As an alternative, you can rename each POI.GPI to use multiple GPI files.
