I have tried twice to d/load just the WIFI hot spots using I Explorer 6, but in both cases, Windows tells me file is corrupt; file size is 160kb in zipped format.
(TT OV2)
Any suggestions valued Laughing

I have never understood the meaning of "Show Link" can somebody define exactly what it means, If it is a necceasry part of downloading POIs(which it is) then why is it not integrated into the download procedure and not an option which you seem to have to include anyway?

It's not something that everyone needs (in fact I don't need it myself), but due to the nature of having to generate an OV2 file, on the fly, from the data can cause problems with some user set-ups. The extra work involved is rather a large step up from producing the CSV data.

This 'extra' measure was added to try to resolve the issue that some users were having. It was a bolt-on rather than doing a re-write.

Normally the download is automatic, you make your selections and it will begin. For those that have issues the 'show link' option allows you to initiate the actual download manually.

Thanks, I did not realise some dont need it, it always seem to be the stock answer for people having download problems,
For me personally I have always used it without actually checking whether I need it or not.
