Sad Hello there,

I've spent a happy few hours adding POIs to a sub-category and thought I'd download it to check on it's appearance. I can download the zipped file no problem but when I attempt to extract it Windows tells me the zip file POIs.Zip is invalid. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. I've had no problems like this previously with safety camera downloads so I was wondering if you have any ideas about what the problem is. If it matters, I selected the category "Recreation" and selected the subcategory Clay Target Clubs and the device is a TomTom. I am intending to update this subcategory on a regular basis and I've got a lot of interest from club members so sorting this problem would be nice to save my embarrasment now that I've got everyone's attention Wink

Thanks

Next to the download button is a check box labeled "Show Link" select this and you should be able to download and open the file, please note the POI ammendments are not automatically added they are checked before the master data set is updated with submissions - the "last updated" date adjacent to each POI category is good indication of the last update - Mike

Magic,

All is now fine.

I appreciate that some validation by you is required but I am anxious to see how it all works. I'll keep adding POIs to the subcategory. This is a really useful facility and I'm making a point of telling everyone who'll listen about this site and what it has to offer. BTW I love the little .bmp image of a clay target - nice touch Very Happy

Many thanks again.
