Moving from favourites to custom poi folder.

[adiegreen]

Hi

I cant remember how previously I moved individual POIs from favourites to put them in to a custom poi file. At some point I created a file which read "bees-PGPSW.csv on my original nuvi 250. Now i have some additional POIs in favourites and cant find how to convert them to CSV. A tried through POIEDIT. I got them to save as a file but when i try to "batch convert" them it fails to find the file. I dont know why because POIedit saves file as a GPX.

I have tried looking through this site because i am sure someone must have written the idiots guide but i am sorry I just cannot find it

Could some on show me the link please
Adrian

easiest way is to look at the pgpsw csv files to see the layout, but usually it is in the format

long, lat, description

you can load the gpx file into notepad (better notepad+) and see how this is done and strip away the xml code

when you have information you need then just add it into your csv file

thank you for that, But am still no wiser...When i load gpx file to note pad it is all listed in HEX, or am I loading it wrongly. I think my problem really is how to convert from GPX to CSV! If i try to open GPX fileon satnav or thats saved on PC it pc asks if i want to search for a program that can read GPX
