Welcome to the forum, to put POI files on the Nuvi you need to use POILoader.
first unzip your download containing the POI files, put all the POI files in the same folder on the PC.
Next connect the Nuvi to the PC and start POILoader, let POILoader find the Garmin Nuvi.
Point the POILoader application at the folder containing the POI files and follow the onscreen prompts to finish the installtion to the Nuvi.
The above should be the same as when you installed POI files to the i3. Mike |
