@ConiKost,
I tried your file in POI map on device and on ext. SD: not visible.
every year i download Archies camping poi listed in a *.gpx file and convert it with Garmins POILoaderforWindows to a *.gpi file.
I put it on the M.700 external SD map POI in the Garmin map
now in where to? there is a map "Custom POIs" (eigen nuttige punten in Dutch) with a map Archies 200701 (self made)
also in that map ANWB Campings by country. six files.
Strange enough there is one file "Spain" in POI but 2 exactly the same maps "Spain" in Custom POIs........
If you can find your file in gpx you should made your own gpi !!

It seems, firmware 9.20 fixed it. The POI file provided by BMW is now fully shown and visiable as it's own category!
