IGO8 KML file load

---

I am trying to make IGO8 recognize my kml file.

the file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">
<Folder>
	<Folder>
 	<name>Day 1</name>
 	<Placemark>
   	<name>001 Location1 - ATR  - Desc1</name>
   	<description>Addrs1 </description>
   	<phoneNumber>Tel1</phoneNumber>
   	<address>  </address>
   	<Point><coordinates>34.814987,32.048725</coordinates></Point>
   	</Placemark>
 	</Folder>
</Folder>
</kml>

when I start IGO8 -

manage-POI- the file is shown as : Atestigo8 igo8 (kml)

click on it shows the folder day1

click on day1 shows <NO ITEMS>


can someone suggest my problem ? did I miss something on the kml syntax ?

Any help would be appriciated


p.s.
1. Strating up IGO8 creates the kix and kns files
2. the kml file is located in \SD Card\iGO8\content\userdata\poi
3. when I add new group, the group is added, but when I view the file using notepad, the new group is not there. So I guess IGO8 is actually working on another location ???

thanks again

I think I found the issue.

The KML is fine.

IGO8 will not display the Items unless you are seaching for POI near an address.

This is different than IGO6 where you can display POI - no matter where you actually are.


My question is:

I prepare my trip to another country.
I have many POI in my KML

How can I display them on IGO8 the easiest way?
Is there a bypass to this limitation of displaying a POI only near an address ?


Many thanks !!!

Excatly the same problem here... if anyone has has a hint or solution please...
searching around the web , but nothing that helps...

So I tried LOAD ROUTE

---

I put the same KML file in the userdat/route folder

started IGO8

the LOAD ROUTE button is inactive and I am in advanced mode

any idea why ?


thanks

this worked for me:

check your path and the file.
I used routeconverter for mac to convert a garmin map file.
must say it takes a long time to load a lot of waypoints.
