Down loading POI files & File editing

 

I recently purchased a Garmin 350 nuvi. Using the POI down loader program, I down loaded a banking location POI file which showed up as a Excell spread sheet. I changed Lat - Long & Location Data & save in a new file "Chase Banks". After data transfer to the nuvi 350, there was not any data shown. Only the title was present. What am I doing wrong?

compare the two files

Without knowing exactly what you did and seeing the results, it would be hard to know. Open the two files and compare each. Better yet. Take the one that did work, copy, make one change, and see if it works. Then make another and so on until you see what is happening. You can also look at the garmin CSV format specification in the help file. Don't be afraid to play! Also read my post on POI for a primer which has step by step instructions for how to setup files already created.

be sure to save a CSV

you cannot simply save as a .xls file. be sure to select CSV (comma delimited) from the drop-down list after going to 'save-as'

Down loading POI's

Thanks for your info. I descovered that I had the LAT - LONG data in reverse. Dumb, Aye?
