Thanks for the help

Using Windows Explorer, Copy and Paste them (plus the associated same name .bmp files which are the display icons) into the map folder on your device. (Wasn't this in the instructions? - I don't read instructions, so maybe it isn't there Twisted Evil Or maybe you didn't download your POIs from us so didn't see any instructions?)

To clarify, that's not a folder called "map" or "maps" (you may or may not have one of those), but the named map folder - "Western_Europe", "Great_Britain" or what ever the one you are using is called.

Yes that worked.
Did not see it in the download instructions.
POIs came from this site

Thanks for the rapid response
