Hi,
I have selected the POIs.
Not sure which of the two selections to choose i.e.
How should the files be created?
Separate files per subcategory
Combine subcategories into category file

For the first options I get a file per selection.
Question:
What does the 2nd option do? I ask because I get the following error:
HTTP proxy reports :
(The specified network name is no longer available. ).

Thanks

Separate or combined is up to you...

Eg - Fuel

If you select "Shell" , "BP" and "Total" in the "Fuel" category...

Download as "separate" and you end up with three POI files, one for each brand. You will also get the three icons (pictures) of the companies.

Download as "combined" and you will get one POI category called "Fuel" with all the entries for all three brands. Easier to manage on the satnav, but you will only get one generic icon of a petrol pump.

-------------------
Not sure why the "combined" option isn't working for you, I just tried it and it's working fine for me.

Are you following the noes at the bottom? Especially this:
Quote:
The option to combine categories is limited to a maximum of 20. Attempts to combine more than 20 will fail. If you need to do so, please download in batches of 20 categories and merge using a utility such as POI Edit.

use 'show link' if you have problems opening the file once downloaded or it appears to be empty
