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. Sad

But I expect someone who does will be along shortly. Smile

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).

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.
