Can I load my custom POIs into MapSource? My GPS is a Street Pilot
c330, and I have the POI Loader from Garmin. I've looked, but I've
been unable so far to find a way to do this. I'm hoping that I just
haven't found it yet.

You need the free GPX to POI program to convert your POI in CSV format into
GPX format and then open them in Mapsource. You can then also make custom
POI in Mapsource and save as GPX then convert to CSV for the c 330.

Thanks. So while I can use that to convert the file for importation,
MapSource cannot take a csv file natively, nor download the custom POIs
from my c330 when I tell it to retrieve Favorites. Bummer.
