New POI File Verifier v1.0.0.5

 
Mon, 04/02/2007 - 12:03pm

I posted a new version of 'POI File Verifier', v1.0.0.5. It’s still a free download at:
http://showcase.netins.net/web/topnotchcomputers/Htmls/Misc/garmin.shtml

The main changes are:
●A pop-up 'Error' window will be displayed warning of an error in the POI file.
●Longitude and Latitude are now displayed, along with the line number, when an error is detected in the 'Duplicate' Check or 'Correct Coordinate' Check. This will assist those without Excel in locating the displayed file error.
●Resized the Coordinate requirements for 'US/Canada' to include PR (Puerto Rico) and VI (Virgin Islands).
●Changed the Variance range for 'Coordinate Duplicate Check'. Adjustable range is 0 to .0009 with default set to .0001

Thanks to all those who suggested the changes.

Wished I'd had this before

I love the idea of this program after spending some time stumbling about trying to correct some files.

Any chance you could do it for a Mac?

Cheers
