Adding extra info into POI

 
Sat, 09/27/2008 - 8:20am

I'm creating a church POI and would like to add service times. Would it cause any compatibility problems if 1-2 lines were displayed on the GPS? It is fine with my C580. Specifically, I'm using notepad and putting the service times after the zip code and before the phone number, all within one double quote.

Can the csv file still be converted to gpx?

Works for me

I'm not sure about converting to gpx, but when I made the AA meeting file for the Tampa Bay metro project, I added the whole weeks meeting schedule in the 4th column, between the quotes and it displayed fine on my 660.

When I displayed an entry with a full week's worth of days and times, there was a "More" button that showed up at the bottom-right. Pressing that allowed me to scroll down to see the full contents of what I had entered in the 4th column.

I also used Notepad.
