iCN 530 - POI difficulty

AlanPK · Occasional Visitor Joined: Aug 20, 2006 Posts: 4

I have POI file converted from OV2 to CSV (Camping & Caravan Club Sites) which POI Edit seems to recognise but when it transfers the data to my iCN530, no data seems to be there except for the bitmap. Any suggestions?

Not sure why your data isn't converting but as an alternative you could give this site a try.

They have a camping database already in csv format.

I got the file from:

Has anyone have very easy to follow instructions on how to get a navman POI file from OS Grid References?

I converted the files for you.

just scroll to end of page and cxlick free download

I used poiedit

Had no problem with them, just load your ov2 files and then from the file menu use "save as" and select "navman comma separated (*.csv)"

It should work ok.

Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow.

I got the Poiedit suggestion to work first time thanks. :D

Is there another program which converts OS grid references to decimal degrees so that I could add to these files?
