Can not download - Combine subcategories into category file

Hope someone can help?

Whenever I have the option box "Combine subcategories into category file" I get WebPage unavailable? I have tried ticking the Show Link box but still no luck.

I've also tried it in both IE7 and Google Chrome but same thing.

This is TomTom OV2

Any ideas or tips?

There are 2 ways that might overcome this.

First there is a limit on how many SubCategories you can combine in OV2 format. Limit it to 20.

The other thing is, have you tried selecting the Show Link Button?

If it still refuses to work, download them individually and use POIEdit to combine them into one file.

I noticed this also not working recently too when downloading and combining categories whereas I have used it for several years with it working. Previously I have used the combine on ATM, Entertainment, Fuel, Pharmacy and Shopping-Supermarket all successfully. I have also previously downloaded combined in parts Accommodation and Car Dealership and used POIedit to combine.

In the meantime I can use POIedit as suggested but hopefully someone can confirm why this now appears to be a problem, perhaps it is the number of categories has now gone above 20 as mentioned earlier.

Can anyone confirm if their category combine download works?

Thanks

There have been additional fuel categories added to the list recently (in the last couple of months) which is why you can no longer download fuel as a combined category.

Does anyone have complete, idiot proof instructions for combining with POIEdit please? I managed it once after hours of messing about with different folders and duplicated files, but I don't know how I did it!

Of course there is another way. (There always is).

Download the categories as a combined CSV File!

Open the File with PoiEdit, using the Navman Comma Seperated format. (You will get a warning the first time, asking if this is what you want to use, and the option to remember it).

Then save the file as an OV2.

It saves having to go through the Appending process. Wink

This is excellent! I now have two expert replies which make it appear far too easy.
Thank you both for this.
Would it be worth making this part of the thread a "Sticky" for all of the other hundreds of people that were too scared to ask?
