Hello

A quick reply to your question is you will need a different type of file like GPX or CSV and then use the Garmin POILoader to load those files into your GPS. OV2 is for Tomtom GPS units. There are some free converters online to make your OV2 files compatible with the Garmin Nuvi 205. Try GPSBabel. It is a very useful utility for converting GPS files from one format to the other. GPX and CSV are the most commonly used.

The Garmin Nuvi 250W comes preloaded with most fuel stations and other POI's. This data changes and there are many sites online that you can use to get more Points of Interest such as Speed Traps.

Good luck
