If you would care to email the file you're trying to upload, I can at least tell you whether or not the file itself is the problem.

Like so many before you, you managed somehow to delete the "" from around the final column. Did you, by chance, do a search and replace on all "" and replace them with nothing? Each row should take the format

Long, Lat, "Name"

although even if it looks like

-2.1157, 53.07313, "GATSO:219@30", ""

this will not be a problem, as the Navman POIEditor ignores the fourth column. Having a single space after each comma makes the file more 'readable', by the way.

Oh i see the problem,
problem is the only way i can get them to work is load it in to Excel then convert it in to a Csv file, guess thats what gets rid of the """ 's, i cant get the file to load in the SmartSt desktop any other way
got a feeling it may take me a while puting the """ in every line,
is their some easyer way of doing it.
cheers for the help

You can convert between formats using this programme. Mind you, the $afety camera database is already provided in .csv format, so I'm unsure as to why you need to use Excel to convert to that format!

many thanks it works fine now,
thanks for the help with it, was the lack of """ that was the problem, using the converter added them to the .CSV files i down loads.
