I messed around with this enough to figure this one out.
You make a directory on the SD card named /Garmin/poi and put the output file of the Garmin POILoader program in that directory.
I now have all parking garages in SF, all WellsFargo ATM, Starbucks available to me... and apparently a "stinky locations" database that will warn me when approaching a stinky area.
I also have the Garmin 2009 map updates for my Nuvi, and the file from that worked dandy too in the \Garmin folder -- so I have Garmin's latest maps...
