IF i want these poi to load onto autoroute or memorymap how do I actually do this....? (I am hoping to get my ipaqs gps to work with the laptop) and if this is possible then is there a list of accomodation for french gites d'etap and / or chambre d'hotes? |

AutoRoute has a Data Import Wizard which can import data in several formats. The usual one is Text in a CSV File Format.
This will generate Push Pins on the AutoRoute Map.
I don't know about Memory Map or a suitable site for the locations you are looking for.
But I expect someone who does will be along shortly. _________________ Richard

thank for that information - much appreciated. Tried downloading from the poi database but keep getting error messages.... just wish these hotel etc companies had downloadable poi for each of their locations... it's a bit random isn;t it.. TomTom I guess has them anyhow? |

Do you mean from this site?
If so, are you following the info in "Note 1" next to the download button?
(which should be in text a mile high!) |

Expecting a bit much for "french gites d'etap and / or chambre d'hotes" aren't you? When I stayed in gites, they were all individuals, not one company (even though there were several websites with details of them). _________________ Dennis

if they're in s book and searchable by website then no I do not think m asking too much... probably have to payfor them though.
