Hello
I have made a file on my explorist 600 containing a lot of medieval fortification-places in Denmark. I do not know how to convert it to Garmin-files. If anybody should be interested, you are welcome to contact me on email.

It sounds like an interesting file smile

conversion

Thank you for your hint. I have now tried to convert the file to CSV-format. I hope that I have done it correct, and that others now can use the file. It has really taken hours and hours to create it.
