I have downloaded the CSV version of ‘’Campgrounds and RV Parks Combined’’ by TXRVer.
When I open it in Extra POI Editor, I see the camping names and address and when export it in GPX format then Import it in Basecamp, all I see is the camping name.
I must have something set to a wrong value but can’t find it.
It would be much appreciated if someone could set me strait, I read just about everything I could find and it’s a dead end.
Thanks
In your save options, are
In your save options, are you saving as a Garmin GPX or just plain GPX? Or is there even such an option?
I can't remember.

Reinstall EPE
I just installed a fresh copy of EPE on this PC, downloaded the POI file, and converted it over to GPX without a problem. I did this on the default settings, although with a little work on my part in the CSV I could map the individual parts of the address to the fields in the EPE data entry window. Do you recall changing any settings?
<wpt lat="64.365346" lon="-146.87592">
<name>"C" Lazy Moose RV Park</name>

More info
After loading your file to EPE . Double click any one of the pois. Now see if the data is in the correct input fields.If not you will need to play around with the m column settings.You will find that under the options tab. Now set the columns to correspond with the data on the file you are setting up.Once you get the data to load to EPE in the correct data field, save as a gpx file . It should now load to Base Camp.

Conversion problem with Extra POI Editor
I checked out your problem and the answer is simple but time consuming for there are over 1600 POI's.
First one must open the CVS file in a text editor (Notepad etc) and then bring up " replace". Then in find put in quotation mark and leave replace empty and hit replace all.
Example : -146.87592,64.365346,"""C"" Lazy Moose RV Park","11161 Richardson Hwy,Salcha AK ,907 488-8141"
-146.87592,64.365346,C Lazy Moose RV Park,11161 Richardson Hwy,Salcha AK ,907 488-8141
You then will notice there is no comma after city. You then have to put a comma after all 1600+ cities and save.
Then open EPE and open "options" and click M column CVS Files.
Then in order 1-Longitude, 2, Latitude,3 POI name, 4 Address, 5 City 6 State, 7 Phone
Then click close and open your CVS file you just saved and Basecamp can use it.
Thank-you
Thank-you everyone.
Kurzemmicks, I don’t think that I will go through correction at every update but thanks.
