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_BO
NUS_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.

Hello,
A couple of days ago I installed the 4.0. Today I successfully
installed the patch. I looked up several places that I couldn't
find in 3.5 and they were all there. I have a question. On the
free downloads page, which poi file is the best one to download?
I
saw several and got confused. Thanks.
