Thanks Paul, just loaded Firefox and quite impressed by it as a browser and all the POIs downloaded first time.

Excellent :D

When it has been downloaded which file do we put it into?

Is it Great_Britain-Map

I am also having problems. Traffic Camera POIs load easily on both my Tom Tom and my Garmin.

However the new POIs download an unrecognisable file. I tried to download a group and single files. I get the same result. NO OV2 or CSV files and no bmp files

I am using Explorer 6 sp2 to download.

I don't know what else to do

By the way this new scheme is a fantastic one.

as I said we have a fallback solution ready but we want to try to fix the IE issues first. In the meantime, can you use an alternative browser for the downloads?

Maybe 'm teaching my grannies to suck eggs, but one can adjust IE7 to work with some websites better using MS User Agent String Utility version 2 available free from microsoft from here

Good luck all; and please tell me how to load the POIs file onto my Garmin i3?

Been using poiedit to update, but just checked and it would seem that some categories not included, specifically looked for park & ride, or am i being too early for poiedit being updated, comment(s) would be apreciated

Hi aj
I think we should give them some breathing space as it was only yesterday that we first new about it Rolling Eyes

I have also requested if anyone had any Poi's on disabled Toilet etc etc
I think we should wait till the new year before we start criticising

The BTYahoo! browser also fails to download these POI's correctly.

However, I downloaded Firefox 2 (as suggested) and no problems at all.

I have now downloaded Firefox and have no problems with downloading. However it is not my preferred option but it works as a stop gap
