I have downloaded the Walmart, Sam's, and Super Center for Walmart POI file and have tried to load it into DeLorme' Street Atlas 2006. It loads from the Excel spreadsheet but places the POI's down at the South Pole.

Any help will be much appreciated from this newbie.
Thanks

You probably need to swap the longitude and latitude in the file.

The Garmin POI Loader specification has the longitude first. Most other "normal" specifications have the latitude first.

Open the file in Excel and swap the first two columns.
