Smile POI's Success with Nav III

Some may have read of my frustration at downloading Poi's from MyPoiWorld.
We ( Company & I ) tried everything ( yes, I mean everything ) but to no avail. I knew the Nav III had issues, but had proved that it would accept Poi's if in the correct file format .csv (also .gsx but at the moment just working with the first )
I had been after camping grounds in Europe and just stumbled across this site.
Archiescampings What a GEM
Well it gets better. I downloaded PoiLoader for Mac from Garmin not expecting too much. But it found my device and even uploaded the camping ground files I wanted. Wow.
Couple of tweeks to the files as loaded, ( mainly removed every thing not related to Garmin and finally tossed out the .gpx file to prevent multiple loads ) but very easy. Macs rock !!
The interface from garmin doesn't seem to support removing Poi's from the unit but thats easy using the unit itself.
Just one question
Can you load multiple POI data bases or as I suspect each new install just over writes the last.
