POI's comment appears twice on SD card

[Phillip Coetser]

Hi guys, Phillip again. I need help with my Poi's, please. In mapsource, I plot a poi, in waypoint properties, add a comment and photo to the waypoint, then save this in separate file named attractions, on desktop. In mapsource again, I open up this waypoint and it is displayed. Now, when I send this to my sd card, using Poi Loader, everything is well when I start up the Gps, except when I open up the waypoint under extras on the Nuvi menu, the waypoint will show up, but when I touch the waypoint name, the photo comes up and the comment is there, twice???????? Anybody had the same experience, and know why this happens? Going back to mapsource, and open up the waypoint properties for this, the comment field has only got one comment. See attached png.images.

Hi Phillip, sover ek kan onthou gebruik Mapsource die Comment Field ook as 'n Description Field. Dus sal dit 2 keer voorkom.
Ek sal kyk of ek iets kan opspoor hieroor.

[F.Viljoen]

Ja dit is ongelukkig so.
Mapsource 2 keer en die briljante Basecamp sal 3 keer wys.
Basecamp gebruik die Comment ook as 'n Description, sowel as 'n Name field.
Gebruik Notepad++ om die file te edit en te verander.

Not answering your query but something that you may also try fiddling around with here is something written a long time ago for the Nuvi 200 but it is still relevant for the current models. It is instrutions of how to add voice comments and pictures for interesting Poi.

Hi Frans, Jan, dankie vir die terugvoer. Ek het gedoen wat Frans voorgestel het, en dit werk . Maar nadat die verandering gedoen is, het ek weer POI loader gebruik, maar die file "scenic attractions" kon nie "geimport" word nie omdat Windows die file verander het om met Windows shell common oop te maak. Ek het toe regs geklik op die file, en "properties" oopgemaak, "open with Mapsource" geklik, en siedaar, Eureka. Nou wonder ek, as meer POI's op mapsource gelaai word, sal die prosedure weer gedoen moet word; is daar geen verstelling op mapsource wat die prosedure kan vergemaklik nie? Indien nie, - wat n @@@@@@ . Groete.

I stand to be corrected, but I think I still authored these two documents when I was still resident in either PMB or Howick. I think I still posted these on the old Garmap forum (when it still existed). I had never in my wildest dreams think that they would surface again here. But thanks Jan for having the savvy to keep them for later use.

I thought it was you that compiled it Darryl. I am a hoarder never throw out something that may prove useful again later on. It has out lived two Laptops.
