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.

converting file formats

Does the software you're using have any export or "save as" options?

There are a few general-purpose software tools like EasyGPS, GPS Utility and PoiEdit that might be useful for converting file formats.

It sounds like an interesting file smile

I use GPS Babel. It

I use GPS Babel. It converts to about any format and is free. It also gives good debug messages if it's unable to parse the file. I downloaded a few huge POIs that only GPS Babel was able to convert. Some of the others conversion tools just created almost empty files.

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.
