POI import of OV2 file

[Tony 13]

Hi I got an OV2 file from the SCDB.info website which i tried to upload but got the following dialogue box and could not upload the file

I did not want to generally share the file as it is a paid for service. However, if someone wants to help by looking at the file happy to share to an individual. thanks

@Tony-13 Hi Tony. Is it what it says, more than 10.000 POI's witch seems to me like a lot?

[Tony 13]

I think it is telling me the problem is either, over 10,000 POIs; OR incorrect POIs; OR no POIs. I think it is the middle option but only a guess

@Tony-13 1.63MB seems a little large for just a list of POIs, I suspect the file contains other data. Have you tried uploading as a route-track?

[Tony 13]

The screen shot is from my first attempt to upload, I also tried a smaller dataset, about 500MB(again does seem rather large for a small data set) and this did not work either
route/track import does not accept OV2 files

@Tony-13 It's probably like @Nick-Carthew said that there's still other info in the file. Even with 500MB it's way to big for an POI file

@Tony-13, can you re-download the file as a GPX file? I find that much more compatible than anything.
