poi's for navman 720

[moswick]

i have downloaded speed camera file for navman and saved in a folder on desktop, when i try to install csv files onto 720 from this folder there are no csv files there

The Navman Files are ASC Files. They are Text Files and the Data is laid out the same as the CSV Files.

The difference is that the CSV File has a header, which Navman doesn't need, or use.;)

Read the helpfile here. Although it was written for the Safety Camera database, it holds true for all custom POIs. Click on my www button for a link to a website containing some POIs.

thanks for your advice but i still have same problem, i save camera files to a folder on desktop then active sync my navman 720 then open smart st desktop 2006, when i clickon map then points of interest the box that opens only asks for csv files so as new camera database files are asc they do not appear in the box so there is nothing to import. i have had no problem importing poi's before with my navman 520 so i have some experience

thanks for your suggestion of changing file name to .csv it finally works.it seems with the new model 720 and i imagine 750 aswell its back to the old routine, open asc file in notepad delete first line lat and long and then rename as .csv file then poi editor finds files. thanks for you help tim

Well they use the same app as the 530 (or so Navman told me) and that app has no trouble reading .asc files.
