Hi
I've downloaded and unzipped the lastest 'single all cams' database for Navman.
When I open the file there are NO .CSV files, just ASC's? I've opened with Excel and tried to save as a CSV file which I can, but the Navman console doesn't recognise it.
When in Excel I can see a whole list of long & lat data, so it's there, it's just I need it in a CSV format for Navman or it doesn't want to play.
When I try to convert the file using Excel, it warns that some data might be lost! I've tried saving in DOS CSV and Delimited CSV.
Please help. |

You can use the ASC Files as they are. It is only a Text File with a different Extension.
If you still want to use a CSV Extension, just change it from ASC and OK at the Warnings.;) _________________ Richard

Hi Richard
Thanks for your reply, but I'm still struggling.
When I try and open a file with the Navman console it will only open files with a .CSV extension. The option to select and open any other type of file is simply not there.
When I did find a way to open the ASC file, Navman just popped up a 'file type not recognised' message.
How can I convert it to a CSV. Via Excel it errors on saving (warning that some data might be lost etc). But I still saved the file and tried to open through Navman, but there was no data there.
Any other help would be fantastic.
Thanks
Martin |

If you still want to use a CSV Extension, just change it from ASC to CSV, and Click YES at the Warning. _________________ Richard
