pure-gas.csv

 

A few minutes ago, I downloaded the pure-gas.csv file (1,503,743 bytes) from POI Factory and POI Loader said there was a formatting error on line 418. I opened the file with Notepad and Wordpad but didn't see a way to find line 418 (I primarily use Linux and only use this MS Windows box to update Garmin maps).

I then downloaded the file (1,646,567 bytes) from pure-gas.org and POI Loader seemed to load the file; at least there was no error message.

I don't know enough to know how POI files are made available on POI Factory, so this is just a heads-up in case someone else wants to make a different (newer?) file available on POI Factory. Or, I guess, just download the file from pure-gas.org instead.

Line 418

This is what is on line 418. There is an error on that line.

-122.40561 47.68008 Shilshole Bay Fuel Dock, 7001 Seaview Ave Nw H" Dock Seattle WA" Ethanol-free UNBRANDED 87; GPS located from address

Seattle, WA" and Ethanol-free UNBRANDED 87; GPS located from address are in the wrong columns and too many spaces between Seattle and WA. Should have been this:

-122.40561 47.68008 Shilshole Bay Fuel Dock, 7001 Seaview Ave Nw H Dock, Seattle WA Ethanol-free UNBRANDED 87; GPS located from address

the only thing that went wrong

line 418 includes quotes in the text address, breaks the file format, contacted maintainer
