Does anyone have experience with using the POI Converter program (poiconverter.exe)? I downloaded and installed it. When I try to open one of the .csv files I downloaded from this site, it tells me that the file is not formatted correctly and that it can't open it.
I'm trying to convert the files to .gdb files so that I can open them with MapSource and then upload them to my StreetPilot c320. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with that program, but there are others, why not try one that will convert the csv to gpx if you want to open in mapsource. Gpx will also load with poi loader.
Another option, search this forum for .. csv to gpx you will find much more info.

Welcome to the site.
If the poiconverter.exe is the one at:
http://rjdavies.users.btopenworld.com/html/poiconverter.html
it doesn't list Garmin's csv file as one it can read. Although it list csv files, they are 'Memory-Map CSV files' and 'AutoRoute Pushpins csv files. They may or may not be the same format as Garmin's. Since they didn't work for you, they probably aren't.
Hope this helps.
