Hi I'm a newbie on the board. I have a Navman F20 and it only seems to want to load .csv files. All speed cameras updates seem to have the .asc extension. How do I load load these onto my Navman? |

Welcome to the forum, just use Windows Explorer, right click the file and select Re-Name, just change the asc to csv - ignore Windows telling you its a bad idea and job done.
Or download a set of POI files in the Garmin POI Loader format, these are allready csv file types - Mike |

Thanks for the help guys. I have now sorted it out by renaming the files to CSV.
For some reason I cannot use the *.* option - the software will only allow .CSV files.
Just one more question. What are the OV2 files for? If renamed to CSV the will not open in my spreadsheet - are they for downloading to the Satnav too? |

The ov2 format is for TomTom products, you could convert the file to csv format by using POIEdit which is a PC based application (try looking on Google you will soon find it)
If you look at the POI download page on this site there is a drop down box for selecting the sat nav type, TomTom is set by default but you can select Garmin which will give you the csv format you require - Mike |

Well that just goes to show how long it is since I used the Nuvi perhaps I should dust in down, charge it up and give it a whirl later - Mike |
