POI Problems

 

I am having a problem with the updated Dunken Donut POI. I have been using POI since April and have never had a problem with the 16 POI (including Dunken Donuts)in the past. Today, I was updating the rest area, red lights and a few others. They all loaded ok. When I went to check DD to see if any new ones had open by my house, the first was 217 miles from my house and then next one was 247 miles, etc. all moving away from my location. My old POI showed the first one, 1.2 miles from house. I check a few other POIs and they were right on. I reloaded them all twice and had the same DD problem....... Is it the file or my POI loader or my Nuvi that I am having a problem with?

Let's Check File First

First, let's check the file to make sure the locations by your house have not been deleted. You can check the csv file by opening it in Microsoft Excel and then scrolling down to your area.

Or if you'd prefer, I can test the file on my 750. Just tell me your street, city, and state. (I don't need your actual address.)

Other than a file issue, the only thing I can think of that could be causing this problem is if you have your unit set on simulation mode and you have your location set to a different town. But since you rebooted the unit it wouldn't be in simulation mode.

I Checked the file and...

The file seems OK. Your profile says you are either in Hollywood, Fl or Melrose, MA. The file has locations for both those areas. I don't know what could be wrong.

Try this...

Delete line 2045 and then save it. Try and reload and see what happens. Line 2045 was no good. I will send Miss POI the updated file tomorrow and she will post it. Let me know what happens.

Ritz/Wolfcamera POI problem

Won't load on my Garmin 650.
Says there's a problem with the .csv file.

Dunken Donuts

I should have said that I did check the file and found all my local DD near my house.(just checked it again) My house address is still list as HOME. Simulation is off. My banks atm shows up the street. I live Melrose, Ma., When I check the list in my Nuvi the first one is Utica,NY. The last to show up is Pittson,PA. I only can go as the first 52. In the Excel File that I used to load my nuvi, my local DD is on line 5406 of that file.

Did you...

delete line # 2045 then save the file and reload it? When I put in your city the first one to come uop is 348 Main St, Melrose, MA and next is 470 Lynn Fells Pkwy, Melrose, MA and so on.

I corrected the file

I corrected the file and sent it to Miss POI. POI Verifier did the trick.

POI Verifier

Yep. You don't have to delete line 2045, just correct it. 'POI Verifier' showed it couldn't parse line 2045. Looking at it in Notepad (NOT Excel) showed the problem to be 3 trailing commas with no trailing quote.

It's been corrected and sent to Miss POI.

I will also invite retiredtechnician. Between the two of you I could learn a lot. Thanks, Paul
PS: I wish that we could have some regional meetings, It would allow us to meet everybody face to face.
