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.

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.
