Thanks to QuadRK for providing this link:

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=5067#Instruct

Download the program there and run it.  If you have a RoadTech Zumo 660 or 665 it will update the "HD" dealer database accessed from the "Where to" icon to the current one (V5.0  November 2011) - it is NOT updated automatically with other Garmin updates.

However, the best thing is - this will add it, including the HD icon in the "Where to" section - to NON-RT Zumos too :-)

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4327 is the download page for the 550 (updated December 2011)

Be aware though, dealer locations are often not very accurately marked, even in this version 5 update.

Thx Jim

My pleasure, Hans.   

I'm still working on a method to try to correct the dud entries.  I can do it, but not in the way that gives the icon in "Where to".

Jim, do you have any idea what format the POI's are in? CVS, etc. I am trying to see if I can download the database to my garmin 496. As much as I would like to buy a Zumo, I have too much invested in the 496 to not fully utilize it. IF I can manage to download the POI's.

Thanks

ok lets try this again
I am not familiar with the Garmin 496 but if is like the other garmin's   connect it to your computer and use exployer to
look at the gps files. Under the garmin directory make a directory called POI and copy your .gpi file in this directory.
it should work.
I am enclosing a file called  D1685000D.doc    when you download it to your computer rename it to D1685000D.gpi
I could not upload the .gpi file extension

It's a GPI file, Glenn - but you can convert the gpi file to CSV or whatever here:  http://www.gps-data-team.com/

Thanks for the information guys.  The 496 is an Aviation GPS. I do appreciate the information and link.
