Using Excel to Create POI CSV file
18 years
|
I'm new at this. I have several csv files of some custom POI's that I want to combine into a single file using Excel (Mac version). So I copied and pasted the lines from several files into a single file. I'm using POILoader. For some reason, only the POI in the first row of the Excel csv file shows up in the Nuvi Custom POI's list. Using another approach, I then opened the .csv file in the Mac TextEdit application and appended .csv to the file name but I got the same result: only the POI on the first line shows up. I also tried changing the POI order so the first few lines are different, but still only the POI on the 1st line shows up. This file has only 67 POI's. The file formats look correct.
This is weird! Any clues to what might be going on would be appreciated?

I assume you're using the Mac version of POI loader?? If so, does it show how many lines are loaded in the GPS like the PC version does? If it only shows 1 line loaded, it usually means there's a problem with the POI file that won't allow it to load any further. If you want to send the file over, I'll take a look. (Use my contact link). POI Verifier would probably find the problem, but it won't work with the Mac operating system.
