Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on Garmin?
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.

Found a version at http://www.poi-factory.com/poifile/d.../csv?node=6232

You need to download POI Loader from Garmin.

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.

BTW, you can not only add various POI to your Garmin but also so called 'waypoints' - interesting places on map. This could be useful if you are travelling to another country/city and want to see most papular sightseeings (I'm using maps from http://www.itouristmaps.com/ for this purposes and also put some places from users' conversations at travel forums)
