I thought of another way you could have a unique file for your personal User points so you can leave your User.poi file for points you can share with others. Open a route called User, personal or whatever you like. Record a Waypoint within that route file and name it appropriately. Whenever you want your private points loaded, use that route file. This isn't the normal way a route is used but it is an option for a way to group points in separate files. These files will have a .GPS extension and you can as many as you like. Michael G.
