 |
|
A while back I spent a lot of time identifying HD -Inde and OEM - in UK and Europe and put them on to a SD card for use on a Navman ICN510.
I dont suppose these will run in my Garmin 760?
If not, is ther a way to convert what is on the card?
TIA  |

After a bit of searching I found the original co-ords in a XL spreadsheet.
Can I upload these? If so, how?
Thanks |

Garmin and Navman both use .csv format files, although there may be slight differences in the "header" information on the first line or two.
POIEdit should be able to open the files, sort out any subtle differences and save in the right format.

Do you meant to the Garmin or to this website?
You can use Excel itself to save the file in a .csv format and then import that into POIEdit once again and re-save in whatever machine's format you like.
To send it to PGPSWorld, the instructions say:
