Hi all,

I've created a spreadsheet with 700+ waypoints that I want to convert
to put on Tomtom and Garmin devices...

I would like the info at each waypoint to display on several lines on
the screen so that it's readable... currently it's either not showing
it all, or it's way too massive to show the info within the bounds of
the display...

I can't find out how to lay out the text in the CSV file that I'm
converting using GSAK into the ov2 and gdb files to load onto the
devices so that it shows as I want...

TIA

NW

I currently have the following

| indicates that there's a cell column, so that's 5 columns

Lat | Long | First bit of text | Second bit of text | Third bit of
text

Currently all I get to see is the first bit of text - no matter how
long it is and after a lot of characters the dialogue box can't
display any more... I don't get to see the 2nd & 3rd columns which I
hoped I would do...

What I want to display in the dialogue box of the waypoint is: -

First bit of text
Second bit of text
Third bit of text

Hope you follow ?

Yes think I do!

Where abouts exactly are you trying to read txts1,2,3 on your device?
Im sure on a TT at least, you will only be able to view your POI text in the
nav/find/manage functions, its never shown in the screen when driving
itself, only the distance to it.

Your POI file would look something like this:-

0.72185, 51.51508, "THIS IS MY POI - FOR WHATEVER IT IS I DUNNO??"

Does that helps?
