Please help me test this POI file - GARMIN

[shekhar_27]

Hello All,

I have created a Garmin POI file with some places of interest in the West of Scotland.
I have tested this on the POIEdit tool and it looks fine. But nothing like the real thing... I appreciate if someone could please test this on their Garmin Satnav for me.

The link for the file is : http://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlEaXRLeFhCSnBjR0E9PQ

Thanks for your help guys!

if you open it in excel you'll see that the quotation marks and commas are a bit messed up.

garmin has 4 fields: lon,lat,name,details

instead of:
-5.03664,55.73734," ""St Blane's church",monastery and 'the cauldron',"Bute""",,

it should be:

-5.03664,55.73734,"St Blane's church","monastery and 'the cauldron', Bute"

as for 'testing' there's nothing to test other than making sure you have the correct format! if you open the file up in notepad it will be easier to edit.
