The full instructions are here

You load them to the unit not into MapSource.

They will then appear under

Where To?
Extras
Custom POIs

You really only want one set on there. Not sure what effect more than one type would have really. Persoanlly i prefer Consolidated.

When you use POILoader it wipes out all existing POIs before loading the new ones. Therefore if you loaded the two databases in two different loads, only the latter database will be on there.

When you start adding other POIs for Fuel and Shops you'll need to mix them in with the Speed Cameras in one folder. Then if one POI file is updated you need to upload them all again.

Best to make a dedicated folder on your PC for keeping your POI Library in.
