POI File Errors
 15 years
|
Apple opened their new App Store this morning and one of the apps they offer is Garmin's POI Loader v2.2.0 for Mac (the Garmin site only has v2.1.0 for Mac). This version apparently does more extensive error checking and it flagged three of my existing POI files as invalid or containing data format errors. The three files are Taco_Bell_USA_Canada.csv, WiFi.csv and National Parks_US_Canada.csv.
Lines 1684, 1691 and 5167 of the Taco Bell file have double quotes where there should be single quotes (pseudo apostrophes). After correcting these errors, the file loaded fine.
The WiFi file has an extraneous space before the latitude (column B) on line 12741. After correcting that error, the file loaded fine.
The National Parks file has all of the park names enclosed in quotes. After removing all of those quotes, the file loaded fine.
Just sayin', ya know...
Errors do happen
Just advise the person who maintains the file and they'll correct it.

I guess National Parks_US_Canada.csv isn't going to be fixed.

File errors
I have made the corrections to the Taco Bell and the file has been uploaded.
For what it's worth..
For what it's worth, the traditional POILoader on a PC is happy to pass double quotes in the file name of the National Parks file through to the gpi file.
A bit unsightly, but that might be why no one caught some of these 'errors' sooner.
It's about the Line- If a line can be drawn between the powers granted and the rights retained, it would seem to be the same thing, whether the latter be secured by declaring that they shall not be abridged, or that the former shall not be extended.
