Read through the FAQ but still need some help

I just downloaded your POI in OV2, and it updated fine. Once you update the CSV the OV2 will be updated by the site software automatically, though there apparently is a time delay.

Now, regarding the editing of CSV files, do get into the habit of using a text editor or spreadsheet to do your edits. It's less time consuming to use either of those programs and upload a completed file once than it is to add entries using the site software.

It's this weird 7150 truck GPS again. How it displays (or more accurately DOES NOT display) POI files.

If I add POI locations on the fly to my GPS, I can view ALL the locations by selecting "edit".

However, if I download a POI file I may only see a partial listing of the POIs, based upon distance from my current location.

So even though it appears I've only got 36 POI's in the file, I've probably got 60. I tested this by routing to a "POI in a city". A POI that didn't show up under "Edit" will magically appear if it's in the city I am navigating to. WEIRD.

Thank you!

But as I mentioned, I can't find a way to upload a completed file once. Maybe it's because I'm not yet a "maintainer"?

If you are responsible for a file, then you are a maintainer. You may not be a General Maintainer, but you have responsibility for your files. On the same page where you edit the file, you are given an option to update the file by uploading the new version. That's how you do it. Create the new file "offline" and then upload it. Select the Log tab to document your update.

Downloaded both the .csv and .ov2 versions of your file.

Both have 60 entries and look OK to me.

I second what Strephon said about editing .csv files. Use a text editor. I would also ask you to consider Notepad++ which you can find at http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.4.5.html

I also strongly urge you to get a copy of Extra POI Editor which was written by one of our own members.

I find EPE is an easy way to work on OV2 files.

I really appreciate all the help! I'm new at all this but love to learn and want to become proficient.

I've actually got another unique POI file project in the works, one that will help big rig drivers. Hopefully it will be out by the end of this year.

The GPSr will only show you the closest points in the POI file, not all of them. This is location driven, so the closest will change depending on where you are.
