Richard, it's not a good idea to publish your phone number on a public site, so I've removed it.

Far better to send it to the OP via PM, and post here to tell him you've done so.

Those custom poi's you loaded are under "My Data" on the nuvi. Keep all you custom poi's in one file on your computer. Everytime you add a new custom file or category, it will overwrite the file you already loaded to the nuvi.

Can you just confirm what POIs you have in TomTom format?

You can download the cameras in Garmin POILoader format as you have a subscription, as for other POIs which we provide, these two can be downloaded in .CSV format suitable for Garmin.

For any other POIs you already have in TomTom format which you need to convert, POIEdit is the tool you need. Open the POI file in that application and then save it in your chosen format. http://www.poiedit.com/
