Hi, Here's what I do.
when I send my user pois to mike, I copy the user.poi file into another
folder, then i load gps and go to the edit user.poi option, erasing those
pois  I don't want to go to mike, such as friend's houses etc. 
then I send the user poi file out of the maps folder to Mike.
When that is done, I then copy the backed up user poi into the maps folder
and erase the pois in it that I just sent to mike so they will not have
duplicates.

I know it's a little more work, but, again, there's personal stuff that does
not need to go.

Hope this helps.
Chris
