This is only the firmware for your GPS. You have to use your own maps or download them from somewhere??? and unlock them.
The POIs do not work even if you download the 2011.10 maps and save them to a new CF card. Garmin must of put something in a particular data block on the CF card. When you write data to the CF card you overwrite this block and that is how Garmin is trying to copy protect the CF card. The data is written one block next to each other like in a straight line and you can't change the way the data is saved to the CF card. That is my best guess.
Maybe someone with more experience can help out, but I think they would need an original CF card from Garmin.
