Really Chuffed (1 Viewer)

Whilst putting Custom POI's on my Garmin today,I got an error message 'Not a valid csv file' and the 'Help' section on the Garmin POI downloder gave an example of the correct format. Lat. Long. Name of POI.
Out of curiosity I double clicked the file I had tried to load and it opened in Excel.
I found 3 columns-- name of POI.Lat.Long. So,I thought,what will happen if I swap the columns around ? I higlighted the column with Name of POI,copied it,highlited the 4th column, which was blank,and put the Name of POI in there. Lo and behold it loaded into my device and a 'Congratulations' message showed on the screen
I can now see that creating POI's might not be an impossible task for one with limited technological abilities.
