Hi there one and all,
Just got a new edition X960 and have spent ages battling with the software to 1) update speed cameras and 2) loading up POIs
With the speed cameras I eventually decided to download the latest software 7.0.3 I think and hey presto I can update cameras. You would think that new addition would mean new addition
But as for the POIs.............. nil point.
I have followed the info on creating an .ascii file from a text file and saved them. The problem is that "Content Manager" fails to see the files when I try an add them. I did try dragging them into the folder on the SD card, they appeared on the satnav folder but not on the map.
Anyone got any answers.

Welcome to the forum.
I think you mean asc (ascii is character encoding _ simple explanation)
Just to be sure, is THIS the info that you have followed and which set of POIs s have you loaded? Did you resize the bmp files?

Hi there Gee Pee
All I want to do is add my own poi's to the My POI file that alraedy exists.
here is an example of the txt file I created and saved as an asc.
;Longitude Lattitude Place
;-------------------------------------
-4.18917, 52.91248, ”BRS”
;end
When I open up content manager/my VIAmichelin/MY POIs/create a new folder and browse content manager does not recognise the presence of the .asc file I have created?

Hi i too have recently got an x960 and have been struggling. I downloaded a program which helps. [url]http://www.poiedit.com/
havent managed to get the bitmap to display I only get a folder icon on screen, I have resized the bitmap, it has to be 12 x 12 or less I am led to believe.
Also make sure that when you go into your poi`s that DISPLAY ON SCREEN is turned on
