Bulk Upload of POI's
-
Is there an easy way to bulk upload POI's? I am referring to the use of a spreadsheet/CVS that I would properly add all my desired POI's into a spreadsheet then upload them ALL?
It would be really handy to have a formatted example of a spreadsheet/CVS with all the proper headings for easy population. They could be easily shared, added too etc.
It has to be fairly easy as this is just one big database.
Am I right?

@Dikke-Wim that is brilliant. But how do you get them all in a poi file that all routes should have access to.

In MyRoute App you can upload POI's. After that you go can make them visible als POI's in Library (Beheren in Dutch).

Da's heel apart, die ik het in ChatGPT dan krijg ik dit te zien:
Geen .gpx bestand zoals bij @Dikke-Wim. Doe ik iets verkeerd?

Yes that is possible, but the POI in MRA is quite rudimentary, you can only enter a name in the database.
here is an example of a file that you can read in GPS Visulizer for example and convert to GPX.

For myself I have made a VBA program in Excel that converts the above data into a GPX file, which I upload in MRA.
The reason for this is that MRA has some trouble with the CSV files and that Excel subconsciously converts my CSV numbers.
I am currently busy converting the Excel VBA to Openoffice and expanding the GPX export so that I can enter more data such as warnings and heights that my Garmin device can use.Please note that you have to divide the different POIs, you cannot change the category in MRA. they all get the same icon.
Below my (Chaotic) own POI library, by uploading them differently you can use different icons.
