Use POILoader to Load Custom POIs

You can use Garmin's POILoader to load customer Points of Interest (POIs) to your 770.

Disclaimer: you assume all responsibility for the use of these instructions.  I am not liable for any damage to your GPS or any consequences of following these instructions or any inaccuracies contained herein. If you are not comfortable with this, you should not proceed.

 

Plug your 770 into your PC via the USB cable.
Go to Garmin's POI Loader site.  Download and install the POI Loader tool.
Find a site with POIs you want to load.  Garmin has a good starting list here.  One I like is http://www.poi-factory.com
The POI sites will typically make files containing POIs available in CSV format or other formats.  Once you've downloaded the CSV file from the POI site, use the POI Loader tool to load it into your GPS.
Disconnect the GPS from your PC and wait for it too boot up.
To find the newly-loaded POIs on your 770, go to Where To - Extras - Custom POIs.  The 770 will only hold 50 custom POIs.
