Please Test my Blackpool Attractions Poi for Garmin gps

[Ched]

Hi all, I have had a TomTom on my pocket PC since version 2 and I love it. I run a web site providing information on Blackpool's Attractions and I would like to add poi for the attractions. I have created a TomTom poi and image file and that works fine on my old TomTom. I have converted the files to a Garmin csv file format.

So could someone download the Garmin csv and image file (zipped) and make sure they work?
They files are located here http://www.pschadwick.co.uk as a test before I add them to the Blackpool Attractions site.
Thanks for any help and any feedback.

I would add a little more detail to the POI file though as Nav units can act as handsfree for the mobile phone these days, something like this would be a better bet (feel free to use the information and I think I have the phone numbers all correct, try converting to ov2 and TomTom can also use the extra detail) - Treat this as some help from another sandgrown one:

Thanks very much indeed, that must have taken quite a while to add all the phone numbers.
Thanks.
You dont happen to know if there is any online guide to different data formats for poi files for different models/manufacturers do you?

Thanks very much.

Mike is 'Dr Who Exhibision' the timelord way of spelling 'Exhibition'?

Sorry, not Mikes mistake but mine

Phil, thanks very much. Seriously can you add images, and text descriptions? My old TomTom3 isnt up with all these new features but I do have images and text that I could add if it would be useful?
