Hi - grateful for any help. I have a number of files that contain BMW Motorcycle Agents across Europe. They are in separate country files and each one is a .gdb file. How do I convert the files so that I can load them into my Streetpilot 2720 using POI Loader.

So far I have tried importing them into Roadtrip and Basecamp and exporting the lists as .gpx files - no luck with POI loader though.

Any help much appreciated.

Peter

Have a look at POIConverter which can Open and Save to quite a few formats.

Hi

Got this sorted out very easily in the end. I imported the .gdb files into Basecamp and then Exported them into a folder on the desktop - they transferred as .gpx files. then POI Loader transferred them into the GPS - the thing I was missing every time was that the .gpx files must be contained within a folder - the bare file will not transfer.
