Showing POI details in Garmin Mobile XT

Am just wondering that, in the Custom POI's for Garmin, are you able to show extra details that are stored in the CSV files such as telephone numbers.

I have downloaded a POI Database, and the format in the files are :

Longtitude Latitude Name Details
-4.08889 50.39094 Beefeater, Plymouth +441752600660 The Marsh Mill 01752 600660

Using the internal POI's (ie. under Food, Hotels...) it is able to show the address and the telephone numbers, similar to what is shown under detalils, but cannot see this detail in the custom POI's.

Hope that all made sense .. Laughing Out Loud

once you select the poi in the list it should then show the details on the 'go' screen?

Yeah MaFt, I thought that, but when I get the screen with Go and Map on it, it shows the name of the POI, but not the other details such as the phone number etc.

This is on Garmin Mobile XT. My first post actually shows you an entry from the POI database, and as you can see, it has telephone numbers etc.
