ok, please help me.

i think i am going mad with this.

i have followed every detail on transfering the database, i really mean every detail and not only once but about 10 times now.

each time it transfers but where the hell do they go after that, its not in "my poi" or active poi.

please help i feel this is so easy but i must be missing something.

cheers

i followed it to the letter, the only thing is when i open the asc file in poi editor it stays as a asc file, i have to save it in pio editor to change it as a csv file, but still it does not work, i feel really stupid but this is really starting to hack me off,

What do you mean, you have to change it in POIEditor to a .csv? Navman's POIEditor reads .asc files and they transfer directly to the device from it.

right this may be the problem. can i get round this problem as every time i download it opens as a notepad document.

You have possibly associated .asc files with Notepad, but they shouldn't just open of their own accord. Right-click on an .asc file, then click 'Properties' and see if Notepad shows next to 'Opens with'. If it does, can you change it?

You don't need to do anything IF you selected to make the POIs 'Active' and setup audible and visual warnings for them. I also set visibility to maximum. All this can be done from POIEditor.

If you haven't done this, you can do it from Preferences, Safety Alerts, Active POI. You will need to select each POI in turn and ensure Active, Audio warning and Visual Warning, then adjust Distance to POI as required. I use 1/4 mile for cameras.

OK connect your iCN to your PC but don't start the Navman Desktop. Use Activesync and explore the device. Look for a directory called MYPOI and tell me where it is (Device or SD card) and the directory structure.
