Jock if this was directed to me, I didn't understand a word. I was dealing with Darren regarding a Nissan Connect download

Jock was asking if you can show us a list of all the files and folders.

You can do this either by 1) creating a picture of your PC screen and posting it here, or 2) by creating a text list

Method one involves using the "Print screen" key on your PC keyboard, pasting that into a paint-type program and uploading the results to a bit of webspace you have access to or a picture sharing website, then linking to it here - sounds a lot more complicated then it is, but not the simplest thing to describe...

Method 2 uses a little freeware utility called "Drive Z" from HERE to create a simple text file you can post here.

Ihave downloaded drive z and the files are listed on the clipboard, how would I forward this to you
these listed files will not open and are only the names of the files, is that ok ? to save confusion they don't open on the clipboard but do open when in the ''warnings folder''

OK... Drive Z is useful, but not VERY clever. It makes a list of files and folders, but it cannot drill down into every folder and show you those files all in one go. You have to do it in several steps.
(If anyone knows of a program that WILL show the entire directory structure all in one go, I'd love to know about it!)

To start, first make sure that in the Drive Z window both of the "folders" and "files" boxes are ticked and that the "remove extensions" box is UN-ticked.

Then use the left window to browse to the first level you want to see.
When you click on the big "Make a list and put it on the clipboard" button it makes a list of all the folders at that level and all the loose files at that same level.

All you have to do to show that list in the forum, is go back to the forum post you are writing and PASTE it into your post. Do that by either right clicking in the post window and selecting "paste" or just by tapping CTRL C on the keyboard. That will produce a list, first all the folders followed by the files.

BUT, don't forget... IT DOESN'T list all of the files inside every folder. You have to do that yourself by going back and selecting the folder you want next in the left window by double clicking on it.
Then click on the "Make a list and put it on the clipboard" button again make another list and paste that into your forum post too with some explanatory text saying which folder it was from.

Repeat as necessary.... Smile

Licence.txt
pocketgps_uk_pmobile.bmp
pocketgps_uk_pmobile.csv
pocketgps_uk_sc.bmp
pocketgps_uk_sc.csv
Release.txt
Don't know whether I've done this right, all these files have been copied and pasted from Drive Z. They were all extracted from folder ''myPOIWarnings'' which was originalyy put into ''my POIs'' folder

My apologies to Jock, I thought I had received the reply in error as I didn't understand it. I'm having difficulty in understanding the transfer of these files to you, I thought I had done it in my last reply. With regard to the suggestion of a misinterpretation of the installation perhaps I can put it in simple terms and if correct it should assist any beginners like myself who had this initial difficulty.
for Nissan Connect downloads
1.Download database for 'Other-csv' file, select UK single cameras
2.Save and enter into a location eg. my documents
3.Decompress file by right clicking 'Save as'
4.plug in Memory stick.
5. The seven files that appear when you decompress file,copy them to the memory stick.
6.Go to Memory stick and make two new folders.
Name the first folder 'my POIs' leaving a space between my and POIs
Name the second folder 'myPOIWarnings'
7 Ensure the folder names are exactly right as the names are case sensative
8.Lift the files you decompressed and put them into the 'myPOIWarnings 'folder
9.Lift the 'myPOIWarnings folder, containing the files into the 'my POIs' folder. Apply Memory stick to Nissan Connect,

As there has been neither a reply or any comment to my interpretation of the download instructions, I will assume that they are in order.
Sadly I'm still unable to apply the result to my Nissan Connect since I omitted the spacing in the my and POIs folder when first attempting the proceedure. I'm waiting an email reply from Nissan UK, hoping that they have a solution as to why the 'Connect' will not accept my corrected file.
Maybe it's programmed to block further attempts when the initial application is in error. We shall see and perhaps a lesson to beginners to double check before plunging that stick into your USB port.

The only other option I can suggest is you send me your memory-stick. I will check the files you have installed and if wrong, load the files in the correct format and advise.

Worth trying? Will only cost you a stamp and an SAE?

Reference to MaFt, I thought item 9 in my 'Download, simplified' verified your suggestion, also thought clicking extract all resulted in the same files being exposed but if it makes a difference, I'll certainly try it !
Reference to Jock, I will amend my address, any experts living near Knotty Ash , Liverpool, glad of any help.
Reference to Darren, I will be pleased to send memory stick if you supply address.

Memory stick received. Immediate observation was you had a space between my and POIWarrnings in the folder name.

You had:

my POIs\my POIWarnings

It should be

my POIs\myPOIWarnings

I've corrected that and sent the memstick back.

I note that it isn't clear whether you can only have one .csv file in the folder and if you should have the .bmp (icon) files in there. We based our guide on Nissan's instructions and they don't make that clear.

Give the install a go with the stick as it is now and let me know how you get on, if it works great, if it doesn't then we can look at removing the icon files and the pMobile files and retry.
