Works great with my Streetpilot c330. It was a simple process:
1. Download some POI files (I got them from poi-factory.com) and put them in a common folder
2. Connect your GPS to your Mac and turn it on
3. Fire up the POI Loader and point it at the folder you put the .gpx and .csv POI files in.
4. Click the button to upload them to the GPS (make sure your units of measurement are correct).
5. Voila!
I have been trying the Mac POI Loader with my Nuvi 650. I have found the following problems:

I had no compatibility problems, unlike some of the previous commentators. I've been waiting for this program for about two years, and I'm glad it's finally here, and working.

I have found the following problems:
1. After choosing my folder with POIs to upload I get the warning message "There is a data format error on line 115 of file . The data earlier in the file will be written, but no more data can be read from this file." When I select OK the warning closes. When I select Continue on the POI Loader window I get a spinning beachball followed by a closing of the application. The Custom POIs to upload and appear to work fine.
2. When I load the POIs to a SD card directly I get the same error message but the application uploads the files to the card without crashing at completion. Unlike the PC version of POI Loader I am never taken to a speed or redlight distance dialogue.
Bottom Line:
This beta will upload your Custom POIs but is not up to speed with the PC version yet.
