Problems with certain POI files

 

Nuvi 260 -- certain POI files, especially those offering multiple formats for download, cause the POI Loader to complain about "data error in line 1." After loading the GPS shows the headers for those files (I use the directory structure to create categories and subcategories), but no data.

I have tried all three formats (not the 350/360 csvs) and the same thing happens. Should I convert one of the csv files to gpx format myself?

HELP -- I leave on a trip later this week and definitely need the list of microbreweries and brewpubs in Portland. Thank the lord that the Napa and Sonoma winery gpx files work!

I have used several with out a problem. What POI's are causing a problem?

I figured out that it was my download manager that couldn't handle the javascript redirects. All is well now.
