Magellan CrossoverGPS POI Manager 54
Importing a Data File
POI files are widely available on the Internet and most of them can be easily transferred to
your Magellan CrossoverGPS. The POI Manager software supports ASCII file format
(.ASC,.CSV,.TXT); GPS Exchange file format (.GPS,.XML); Magellan Waypoint file format
(.WPT,.RTE); and Garmin PCX5 Waypoint file format (.WPT,.RTE) but before transferring
a POI file to your Magellan CrossoverGPS you must convert it to the .MGLN format
(Magellan format).
Click on the Open button .
On your PC, select the file you wish to import and click Open .
Start by choosing the line in the data file to which you wish to start importing data. If your
data file has a header row, this row will generate an error so you should start at line two or
below.
Next, choose how the data is separated and click on Next .
You now need to define the data columns. Click on the pull down menu and assign a field
name to the appropriate column. Click on Finish .
Click on the Save POI file button. Assign a name to your file and click on Save . Your file is
now in the Magellan format and is ready to be transferred to your unit.
Note that a file cannot contain more than 10000 POIs. If the file you want to import
contains more than 10000 POIs you will have to delete some entries before saving it.
Close the POI File Editor. Select the POI file you have just created and click on the
transfer button (right arrow) to upload the file to your Magellan CrossoverGPS.
