> A summary of how to do this:
> -Install Garmin's POI loader software

> Unzip them, and place only the .gpx waypoint files in a folder you

> the entire PCT.
> -Launch POI loader and it steps you though choosing the folder
> containing the .gpx files and loading them on your GPS. Takes about 15
> seconds.

> -After loading the POI's, set the zoom view that they show on your GPS

> -To do this go to your GPS map screen, select the menu button, select
> setup map, find the "map setup - points" tab on top, set the Max Zoom
> for Map Points and User Waypoints to some number such as 2 miles. When
> set to 2 miles, points will show on your GPS when the map is zoomed
> closer than 2 miles, but not show when zoomed out farther than two
> miles.

> Hope this helps you get started.
