trouble getting the file from my Pc into my navman

[echo1]

I have downloaded the files, and have winzip but when I try to open the poi editor I get the message "unknown file format" I am running Windows XP home, what am I doing wrong?

Try downloading again, there may have been a hiccup the first time.

Can we try one more go...

(I just tested it by downloading the simplest option, the single "all cameras in one" file, but the theory should work for all versions)

You download the zip file. It should be called "pgpsw-speed-cams.zip".

Don't bother with Winzip, Windows XP can unzip it for you... Right click on the file and select "Extract all..." That will start the Extraction Wizard.

Just use all the default settings and it should produce a folder called "pgpsw-speed-cams" in the same place as the zip file was saved.

Inside that folder should be "pocketgps_uk_sc.asc" and "pocketgps_uk_sc.bmp"

Point the POI editor in the SmartST Desktop to the folder, but remember
(as copied from the helpfile)
Newer versions of the software, by default, ask for 'Files of type: CSV Files (*.csv)' You might have to put *.* in the File Name window in order to show the asc files.
If you can't get this to work you can either simply rename the asc files to csv files or you can download the files for Garmin as these will also work.

Thanks for the help only I am still not getting any success. I have tried the garmin and get the same message "unknown file format"
