Is anyone getting an XML error when trying to update the POIs via POI Edit on the latest update?

Nothing to do with whitespace, for some reason POIEdit doesn't except '&' in the description. Not sure why as it's a valid ascii character.

Actually I should add that the error message was generated from Internet Explorer (rather than POIEdit) when I tried to browse the XML directly.

Dave - I noticed that a number of my submitted POIs within files, one new POI file and one POI .bmp didn't make it in to the update. Do some get rejected or should I resend them?

Thanks,

Matt

All POI's we receive get released. We prefer them to be in ZIP format with a BMP and OV2 included, but will accept them as separate uncompressed attachments or even in CSV format which can easily be converted.

Some emails do get mangled by antispam filters depending on the words used in the email (bayesian filters).

If you can send them again in the above formats and we'll release them.

Yep - I'm experiencing problems with the latest release of POI Edit. The first site in my list is POIHandler which refuses to update. It reckons the XML is invalid, but it ain't 'cos I've validated it with XML Spy. Very frustrating because I subscribed to POIHandler yesterday and the update worked - now it refuses...
