Read this first!

• The description below will only work for the Mio C620 and Mio C620T models. Reasons for this are: (1) the C620 unit uses an internal format for storing POIs where a couple other models provide support for Google Earth '.kml' format through POIloader; and (2) I never tested this on another model.
• I take no responsibility for the description given below. You may ruin your GPS unit if you attempt what is described below. Do not even attempt at performing the steps below before ensuring you fully understand every single step outlined below.

You have been warned. Now read on :-)

If you own a Mio C620 GPS you may have noticed that you can not add POIs (points of interest) out of the box, unless you key in the details directly on your GPS unit. Since I wanted to add about 60 gas stations this was not an option. Hence I have been searching for a way to upload my list of gas stations to the Mio C620 GPS unit. And add a custom icon for these new POIs.
