With so many custom POIs files available to choose, I wonder how many can Garmin support. I'm using GMPC and I think I've encountered a limit before cos some proximity alerts were not working until I removed less frequently used POIs. Can't really remember if it was 10 or 12 POIs files or categories (some file are divided into categories and each category take up 1 count.) Anyone can confirm?
