New version 0.7



GPLed
Source and install files available from website www.rikcull.f2s.com

Normal Operations

Directly import foreign POI files. Currently tomtom (.ov2), garmin_poi(.cvs), geo(.loc), gpx (.gpx) but any format supported by gpsbabel easily corporated. Converts 'on the fly' to gpx, inserting category into the gpx if not all ready there. Saves in <filename>.gpx without the category also in <filename>_MM.gpx with category inserted into gpx.

Installs and uses gpsbabel and sqlite3. ( executables in application path, dlls in winsys )

Uses a unique index to avoid possibility of duplicates. ( could previously load the same poifile twice)

On a number of the csv files from GPSPassion Forums, I get "Run-Time Error '380': Invalid property value" from poi loader. They should be garmin_poi files, and many seem to work, but not all - to my untrained eye, they look the same. Specifically, the target stores GPX doesn't work, and radio shack stores CSV doesn't work.

Thanks for the bug report.

Could you PM me samples ? I have tested numerous garmin csv files and not had this error.
I will investigate as soon as I can reproduce the problem.

Rick

Anyone with this problem.
I will publish a new version with fix ( and the horrible "&quot;" that gpsbabel exports ) but for now the fix is simple ( dumb coding ) I'm deciding on the filetype by extension but just in lower case. Rename files .csv instead of .CSV etc. then it should work

Rick

New version 0.7.5
Bug fixes + new livery
also will use unicsv if proper header present when csv input file specified

Rick

This is great, but I get a 'run time error76'; I suspect it is somthing to do with the .lib file that i can't find? I had to download sqlite3.exe and load it in the temp location too...

Any ideas

Ta!

Could you clarify. there are no .lib files in the distribution - do you mean .dll?
there are dlls for both sqlite3 and gpsbabel but they should all be installed in system32. the sqlite3.exe and gpsbabel.exes being installed in Poi_loaders installation directory.

Also at what stage do you get the error?

rick

There no sqlite.exe or gpsbabel in the Poi_loader directory; I had to download sqlite3 of the net. This is version 0.6; should I try 0.75 that I've just seen on your site!

Thanks

Yes
Its only since version 0.7 that gpsbabel and sqlite3 were added to the package.

Rick

Brilliant, working well on 0.75- thanks Mate!
