Help writing a new poi list

Can any one help with a problem I have trying to write a new poi list.

There are approximately 1000 locations but they are all in the
(WGS84) dd*mm.mmmm format and poiedit only accepts
(WGS84) dd*mm’ss.s” or (WGS84) dd.ddddd*
the task is big enough without having to convert every poi before writing
is there another programme for writing poi’s ?

I've never used XLSConverter, but I believe it will take dd mm.mm and convert it to either a csv file or an ov2 file. The built-in Help explains how to layout the 3 Columns.

It was written by our own Oldie.

No it has NOT been done.
that is the French version and i am doing the english version of the english book All the Aires of France which has over 1000 entries but 600 actually varified (inspected by the team and very accurate) also the new poi-'s will have a reference to the page number of the book.

thanks for the info anyhow ( which i allready knew about) have the DVD.

anyhow thanks to replies on here the problem has now been solved.

regards to all
