You need to put that file in the importexport sub-ffolder, maybe create a new database, and then from the database menu import it, and then wait for it to handle the final conversion on the phone itsself - took like 5 minutes on my N82 for all 1600+ points.

Jacob. I've downloaded Loadstone onto my Nokia C5.I've created a loadstone file with OpenStreetMap. You know, searching for my address, and converting it to be compattible with Loadstone with OSM converter. I've put the file in the databases in my Loadstone folder, but when i try to add, or load the database from within LS on my phone, it says that it can't. It's incompattible.I see it saves the file as a txt file. Help?The nice thing about the whole thing, is that i created a map for my Trekker Breeze.For Vancouver, since i'm going to America soon.But, just wondering, if i load a file of my current OSM map onto my Breeze, if it won't conflict with the maps that's already on my device?Just interested. Dewald.

Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' ----- Original Message ----- Hello list. I wanted to let you all know about updates that have been made to theLoadstone point share database. The point share was recently moved to a new server and with this move came a few upgrades. The two major upgrades are:the get points by civic location function should now work propperly. Previously there were problems with this in some browsers but hopefully these have now been fixed. This function will also now work in browsers that do not support javascript or have javascript disabled. The other major upgrade is we now can include openstreetmap data in the point share database. We have a local mirror of the entire openstreetmap database so this data can be selected as a source when exporting. Whenexporting data there's now an option to select the data source. This can bepoint share and openstreetmap (the default), point share only, or openstreetmap only. This means that you do not need to download data from openstreetmap and use any tools to convert to loadstone format. At the moment the openstreetmap data only includes points of interest (pois) street intersections are not included. Intersections will be included when I figure out how to make the database calculate these. If anybody has any information on how to do this let me know. There have also been minor tweaks to the user interface to hopefully make things a bit more user-friendly.The point share system is still being worked on so feal free to report anyproblems you may experience or any suggestions about how things can be improved. ---------- To send a message to the list, send any message to blindza@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ---------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to blindza-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line --- The 'homepage' for this list is at http://www.blindza.co.za-- DL van Deventer Cell: +27824614865 E-mail: dewaldvandeventer@xxxxxxxxx Fax: +27867214949 Skype: <dewie007> Facebook: <Dewald Louwrens van Deventer> ---------- To send a message to the list, send any message to blindza@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to blindza-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line--- The 'homepage' for this list is at http://www.blindza.co.za
