Making GPS markers

Unread postby artimrj » Mon Mar 03, 2014 1:37 pm

Was making some GPS markers and dicovered they did not work. At first I thought I might have too many as none were showing up after I added more to an existing dcsv file. After about 3 hours of fiddling around with things I had a brain fart when I saw one name was Tate & Lyle. I thought I bet it doesn't like that ampersand in there. And that was the problem. So if your making the markers for your route, do not use an & in the name of the location.
