|
|
May have posted this in the wrong forum yesterday - apologies. Please move if wrong again!
I have a TomTom 6 PDA and my friend has a NavMan - I want to pass a POI which I created of some locations in France so theer is less chance of her geting lost. Thought I had cracked it by using POIedit - sucked in the OV2 file and exported as a CSV. However, when she adds the .CSV file onto the NavMan it adds the locations but not the descriptions/labels:
" ... managed to save it on the Navman. For some reason they do not show up the names of the POI's, just an icon when you search for them. However on the screen, when you select them they do have the location details but not the name or description."
I asked het to send an existing POI which she did but the file seems to be in a different format (.MAP with an associated .BM file)
Anybody offer any help or even convert for me?
Many thanks

When the file is loaded onto a Navman, the Navman Desktop software converts it into a proprietary format. You can send me your file if you want and I'll take a look. No promises, though. _________________ Tim |

Managed to sort it. The .CSV files had " around each place name - removed them and Robert is my mothers brother! |
