POI Loader Error - Need help
16 years
|
Hi,
I am trying to create a POI of all the Redbox DVD Locations. I have the data and created the records in a csv file. However, I get the following error when I try to load it using POI loader:
"There is a data format error on line 1 of file C:\Redbox DVD Rental.csv. The data earlier in this file will be written, but no more data can be read from this file.
Here is a quick list of the 5 first records:
-124.240923,43.391462,"Supervalu - Albertsons","2121 Newmark Street NORTH BEND OR 97459"
-124.239239,43.39156,"McDonalds","3303 Broadway Av North Bend OR 97459"
-124.161028,47.007365,IGA ,101 E Chance A La Mer Ocean Shores WA 98569
-124.110802,43.699224,McDonalds ,310 N 14th St Reedsport OR 97467
-124.101113,43.984647,McDonalds ,2060 Hwy 101 Florence OR 97439
I'd like to figure this out before I post the .csv Anyone can help please?
.
I pasted those 5 lines into Notepad and saved it as a CSV and it loaded fine.
PC or Mac?
Are you on a Mac by any chance. THe Mac version of POI loader acts differently from the PC version in some cases. I have gotten that same message with the Mac Version in the past.

ejodoin,
The file that you have submitted as the Red Box file is not the red box file, please try again;)
Miss POI
oops
Miss POI,
Sorry about the mix up, I keep all my POI in the same folder and I must have picked the wrong one. I sent you the correct file in the reply I sent you on email...
How are you able to save
How are you able to save from notepad into csv format? I must be doing something wrong.
It is easy
When you are ready to save, click "file save as" and change the extension to .csv
Glenn - Southern MD; SP C330 / Nuvi 750 / Nuvi 265WT
That is not an option. When
That is not an option. When I 'save as' from notepad, the only options are save as 'text file', or 'any file'.
.
Just select text file and TYPE IN the CSV part.
