Nice Job Lynn! I'm going to add this to the "Best of GPS" thread in the Best or Forum section.

2014 BMW Dealer List POI US Garmin
Updated with 2014 extract from BMW site dated 1/6/2014
Use the exact same procedure as original post just substitute 2014 for 2013.
View attachment Lynn's 2014 BMW Dealers.zip
Let me know if you have any problems.

PS: for those around Raleigh, I changed Capitol BMW's address to the new location effective May 2.
PSS: and yes, this time I wrote down the procedure. Hopefully next time it doesn't take 4 hours.

They were listed in BMW's 2014 list and in the new 2014 POI file.

Could you provide a link to an "unzipped" version?

I have to use some tool to aggregate the files. Do you have a preference? or is their a single file you are after?

Here is a link to the csv file to use with POI loader.
http://www.lightoffshore.com/Downloads/US BMW Dealers January 2014 for Garmin POI Loader.csv
Put this in a folder by itself, then point POI Loader to that folder.

A MS Excel file would be fine which is how I have my much older BMW dealer lists filed.
I have those files (Excel and Garmin) for BMW Germany, Austria, Northern Italy and a bit of France if you are interested. Again, they are older but dealers there tend to not move often.

I think I have made this mistake multiple times, usually when I answer the prompts incorrectly and point to a folder with multiple CSV files in it.
I just downloaded the zip and ran thru the procedure one more time. Running POI loader v2.7.3. No issues.
Assuming you are on a windows machine and you extracted the zip under it's default name "attachment" to your Documents.
The path to that folder is: C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\attachment.
Under attachment is a folder named "Lynn's 2014 BMW Dealers".
Under that is a folder named "US BMW Dealers January 2014".
This is the folder you should enter into POI loader. It should only have one CSV file in it named "US BMW Dealers January 2014 for Garmin POI Loader.csv"
So in this example the path is:
C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\attachment\Lynn's 2014 BMW Dealers\US BMW Dealers January 2014
If any other CSV's exist in that folder, not in the correct format, you will get the error you mentioned.
Did you skip steps 10,11 and 12?

dude, you so totally rock!!!
i wish I had your tutorial years ago when the Alabama club was pushing out poi files that I had no idea how to load or access. This is the greatest post/thread I have ever seen on the forums. I can help, maybe, if I can learn how to modify the file i can update that which I know has changed, like the PENSACOLA BMW has moved to a new location, and I could change that (there LAT/LONG is on their web site and i have it saved on site on my zumo). I know Pandoras is touting it has moved to a new location in an add I think, but If I could I'd like to update what I know has changed and repost to the thread. I think if we all QC'd it with our local knowledge, we could have a serious product.
