Minimum Data Required

 

I'm just curious what is the minimum data required to be in a POI file, is it just Lat/Long and one text field. Thanks for input.

Mimum Data required

Mim would abe the lat/long.and one field but go to the FAQ and there are some very good instructions on building a POI.

From that page

The simplest files have one row of data for each location, with 3 values in each row: longitude, latitude, name

Here's an example with 2 locations:

-123.12345,34.98765,"Amy's House"
-123.12332,34.98622,"Gary's Garage"

Since you

Since you are a TomTom user, it may be different. For Garmins you only need three columns. The third column lets you choose and see what the coordinates are for.
