Is there such a thing as Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on Garmin? Meaning load all restaurants featured on the show into Garmin.
For that matter any of the restaurants shown in various food network and travel channel shows.

You need to download POI Loader from Garmin. (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww8.garmin.com%2Fproducts%2Fpoil oader%2F&ei=hw6KSd-ME5WksAPimbmvDw&usg=AFQjCNH4wdnnYc3p3MNISioq2zcKQzW2yg&sig2=3Ive4wM9sJE6q3vgzbYGqg)

This is going to sounds like a dumb question. How do I get the info on to my Garmin? Thanks!

You need the POI Loader.
And something that was confusing for me when I first started using custom POIs is that they don't show up in the normal menu, just in the Extras area so you need to search Extras, not your normal Restaurants area.

Thanks for this tip. In some cases, you can also search. I loaded the Starbucks POI file, and if you search "Starbucks" all of the nearby ones are listed.
