FAQ??

Have you read the FAQ file on POI's.

Also go to the list of POI's and download a small .csv file to have a look at what the final product is.

csv files

Instead of using Excel you may find it easier to use notepad. Just save as .csv.

Making csv files with Excel

1.Pull up Excel sheet.
2.Column A put in Longitude.
3.Column B put in Latitude.
4.Column C put in Name.
5.Column D put in Address and Phone No.
6.After all data in completed for each row you will need to save as a csv file.
7.Go to file at top left of Excel sheet and click on it and select save as.
8.Under File name put the name of the file. Under Save as type click on down arrow and find CSV (Comma delimited). Now click save.
9.You now have a CSV file.

To get the longitude and latitude use http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoding.html
