Try going here. Will have to set up account but lots of other POI's to download. Download BMP Icon and put in same location as Dealer POI and icon will show up on map. Pretty neat. If you have a Garmin will need POI Loader to load into GPS. From there you can set to alert you when you get near dealers. I have mine set to alert at 10 miles. Lot's of good info at POI-Factory well worth setting up an account.

Does anyone know if this will work in a Garmin Nuvi 260w? Downloaded and unzipped the file and noticed that one of the files say not for Nuvi, Street Pilot, or Zumo. And do I just hook up my gps with a usb cable and transfer this file to the gps then. Thanks .. and do Iget this POI loader from Garmin web stie or where?
