Hi, Sarai. With some help from Carl, I think I finally have it figured it out. But the document was confusing as I wasn't sure why I was being asked to do things<grin>.

You rename it so you won't get duplicate POI names when your searching. Its confusing to me to. Sarai D.

What is that item in the explanation file which says you must remove it from the maps folder and rename it so you won't have duplications? Why rename it? Why not just delete it? Sorry. I don't understand. Thanks.

How do I install a new user poi that I have downloaded from your site? Do I just copy it over the top of my user.poi file in my maps folder? What if I have user points in a file already? If I copy the new one downloaded from your site over the top, I will lose those points. Is there a way around this?

Mike Collective User Points of Interest Sendero provides a monthly compilation of all User POI files sent to the company. This User POI file will be made available by email and/or on the Sendero web site for version 3 users. The first of these files is included with the new POIs. Users are encouraged to submit their POIs to Sendero to be added to the collective user database at the beginning of each month. Some recommendations about naming points and sending files: The first comma in a POI name separates its name from its details. If possible, provide the POI name, then a comma, then details like phone number, cross streets or features about the point. Press the A key for example before recording the POI to see what street it is on and add at least the street name and city as part of the details. If you have a lot of details like the bus numbers at a bus stop, use a Period to separate items. You can always go to the GPS menu and select Edit to rename points or to delete strictly personal points you may not want to include in the file you send to us. Attach the User.poi file from your POI folder to an email addressed to MikeM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Then, move that file out of your POI folder and rename it. Do not touch the extension. Just rename the User part of the filename. Once that file is out of your POI folder, a new file will be automatically started next time you create a new point. If you dont do this, you will have duplicate entries once you load the collective User file we send you. Together, we can enhance location information by sharing the POI information we create individually. __________ NOD32 1.1724 (20060824) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com __________ NOD32 1.1724 (20060824) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com __________ NOD32 1.1725 (20060825) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
