Embarassed ~Try as I might I cannot get p.o.i to load as csv files for my garmin. Can anyone help me, I have tried the conversion bit and done that to no avail. All the files seem to be ov2 files.

What are you downloading?Confused

You shouldn't even be looking at OV2 files.

Tell us what you are trying to do, and what you have done so far. The more information the better. It all helps.Smile

If its POIEdit you have installed on the PC fire it up and select Tools/ Batch convert, then select the correct configuration for both the input data type (ov2 in this case) and the files that require conversion. Set the output to match your unit then hit the convert button and you should have usable files for the Garmin - Mike
