Just a couple of little questions, I downloaded the POI's ont to my Garmin and got the message "Congrats, You have successfully down loaded etc." But now I can't find them. I suppose they must be there somewhere, but retrieval would appear to be beyond me.

Also when feeding the lats and longs directly into Google Earth, the figures seem to be the wrong way round, The first one I tried appeared to be in the Indian Ocean.

Clearly I am doing something wrong here, can anyone advise me?

I ahve to express my thanks and admiration once again to Canalsman for the effort being put into this for the benefit of members.

The latest update, which will be the first in the new forum, is not yet complete ...

I am just working my way through a long list of pub stopovers sent to me by Dezi. Once that is complete, I will upload the files and put a note in the News forum to alert everyone.

Please be patient - it won't be too long, a couple of days at most.

The Garmin problem I can't help with, since I have a TomTom.

Perhaps someone else can advise on this ...

There is a file with the KML extension that was sent with the initial email distribution, and which will be included in future updates, that you open directly with Google Earth from the File menu.

That contains all the coordinates and information - and more - so you don't need to input the latitude and longitude yourself.

Hi, When you are in Favourites or wherever your folders are kept go to File - then New - then Folder, when it appears name it POIs or whatever. When in your browser go to Tools - then Options - then General. You will see - Save files to - click the Browse button next to it and go to files - POis. when you download the item it will be in there. Hope this helps.

Presumably you stay at the Glen Brittle site? If you want a freebie, turn left at Sligachan and drive just past the first lochan on the left where there are the reamains of the old road. If going down to Glen Brittle, the forest carpark just before the hairpins and the one slightly lower overlooking the bealach path have no "No overnight" signs but one has now appeared at the parking area by the campsite gate and the dune area parking is now fenced off.
Alternatively, just past Torrin on the Elgol road, on the right, is a forest carpark giving access to Blabhein.
Any help??
