    Hi All,

    I'm challenged by the following problem and hope that one of the experts here can help.

    I have a Garmin Nüvi 260 and have successfully added Custom POIs for Red Light Cameras, Speed traps, etc. We now also have a Rosen unit but I can't seem to convert the file so that it will work in the Rosen.

    The Garmin file is .gpi format. The Rosen uses .txt but using the GPSBabel converter doesn't quite do the job. It will convert the file to text, but the format seems to be all wrong. The Rosen POIs seem to be formatted like this:

    X,Y,TYPE,SPEED,DIRTYPE,DIRECTION
    -123.815528,46.975498,3,0,0,0
    -123.814730,46.974623,3,0,0,0

    How can I take the data from a Garmin .gpi file and get it into this format?

    Much thanks in andvance.
