CSV File Format

 
Sat, 10/01/2011 - 1:08pm

Is there a comprehensive csv file format guide, used for loading POI files? (Including behavior affected by the csv file name). I've found a ton of information about one aspect or another, but never found a complete reference, including how settings in the file relate to settings provided at POI loading time.

Also, the R/ in the speed camera file seems to indicate where speed cameras are co-located with red light cameras. Is this correct? Does the nuvi handle or parse the R/ in any particular way, or is it just for human viewing?

POI loader help

Take a look at POI Loader help. It is not well-written, but the facts are there.

This link at Garmin is similar to POI Loader help and has more info -

Also see the FAQ on .csv format -

Yes, R indicates red light combination type cams, and yes it's PoiFactory file specific and only for human viewing. PoiLoader ignores it for anything other than text.

What dobs108 said for csv/poiloader behavior.

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.
