Hello Sue,

There are different sections of POIs in the downloads web page.
They are

GPS Version 4.0 Extra and User POIs
GPS Version 3.5 User, Transit and ATM POIs
GPS Version 3.3 POIs

and

GPS Version 3.1 POIs

Obviously you would only need those POIs under the main section for 
the version of the program you have.  So if you have 4.0 only those 
under the 4.0 section would apply to you.
In the 4.0 section there are now 4 downloadable files
   * <http://www.senderogroup.com/poi/400extras.zip>Extra POIs for 4.0
   * <http://www.senderogroup.com/poi/400user.zip>User POIs for 4.0
   * 
<http://www.senderogroup.com/poi/400USA_Geological_Survey_GNIS_BONUS_POIS.zip>USA 
Geological Survey POIs for 4.0
and
   * <http://www.senderogroup.com/poi/400RMF_USA.zip>Entire U.S. RMF 
POIs for 4.0
Each of those zip files contains different types of POIs, from User 
sending in their own POIs they create and send to Sendero so that 
they can be shared with everyone, some bus stops in certain cities 
are well defined, US Highway Exits, etc.
The only one above which you need to be a little carful with is the 
USA Geological Survey POIs for 4.0 which has one BPI file for each 
state, and you wouldn't want to put all of them in your maps folder 
because then you will hit the limit of 75 BPI files loaded at once, 
so only put those BPI files for your state in your maps folder.
Enjoy.
Charles.
