How do you add a POI to an existing file?

 

Add
Castlerigg Stone Circle (in the Lake District National Park)to the UK National Trust file (http://www.visitcumbria.com/kes/casstone.htm)

N 54 36.170 W003 05.902 (54.602610159633 -3.09594767242561)

Open the file in note pad or excel and add the required information. Save the file and load to your unit. In this instance:

After the last line of;

5.4414,50.8941,NatTrust Farne Islands

add this line;

-3.098432,54.603744,Castlerigg Stone Circle

(I adjusted the coordinates)

save the file. then load to your unit.

You can paste those coordinates into google earth to take a look...you'll have to reverse the long/lat as google earth takes lat first then long

LoL, I see that the original file was submitted by vikny, however their contact tab is not enabled.

Most often you would contact the original submitter via email using their contact tab....in this case you could contact Miss Poi and she could possibly try to contact vikny, and go from there.

I have sent a message to the original author with a link to this thread so that he can just take the info from here and update the file.

thanks for the heads up:)
