Hi everyone,
Sorry to be a pain but im a little cofused. I took up Garmins 30 day free trial of speed cameras etc, (I havent used it yet) The site mentions that for $40 a year ,you get speed cameras, school zones and overspeed from memory. Just looking at Doug T's site, noticed you can download for free. Is there any differance between the free and the paid version? Also the site mentions that with Nuvi models , the POI loader is not necessary but where do the POi files go, to the Garmin drive or SD card? The site says to unzip and double click and the files will be installed on the GPS Unit.
Thanks in anticipation. Michael.

Michael,
You might want to visit Garmin and download the free POI loader
POI Loader
This will allow you to also set the proximity alarm/sound to speed or distance, very handy. The POI loader will remove old POI, if you wish and convert CSV files (like excel files) to GPI files.
File for Garmin come in 3 formats GPX - GPI and CSV
GPX are the smallest - GPI the next and CSV large.
Hope this helps
