You originally posted about adding UK & EU Garmin Cyclops to your US nuvi 42. I assume in spite of the references to custom POIs, and using POI Loader for other cam files such as SCDB that this is what you still want to do, i.e. add Garmin Cyclops which are, as has been said, encrypted files which cannot be [and need not be] broken down to csv or gpx files. You do not need POI Loader or any other software, mentioned or not. There was really not a need for a new thread and all the info required for adding Cyclops .gpi files is posted in the thread [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], but in short best for you to is to dl the unlocked archive file, decompress it, choose the countries you want from the .gpi files and then place them in a POI folder either in the root of the unit or in a Garmin folder in microSD card. If the folder doesn't exist just create it. You can do a simulation to check that they work. They will.

Neil, thank you for help and clarity, I don't know why I did not try to put a POI file on the SD card before you suggested it, great news is it worked, I don't understand why it did not when I put it on the main file system but that is history.
I am sorry if you think I have wasted a new thread on this subject but in my defence I believe I was lead astray by the on board help that points the reader to garmin.com/product/poiloader and that there is no POI folder in the file structure, probley me being a bit synical about extra anti tamper measures from Garmin and the fact my previous simulation failed to display my local camera.
If nothing else, if a new member with a 42/52 series model wants cameras on their machines we all now know how to do it, just add a POI file. Can't think why Garmin dropped this file on build, you usually get sample camera's as an advert for the product.
To everyone who participated in this thread thank you, as usual I have learnt a lot from you all.
