5. Select the file (*.csv format) containing the automatic
alert.
About the *.csv file: Appendix A describes csv format.
Basically, the *csv file contains addresses and
longitude and latitude values for locations. The file
must contain exact street address, ZIP/Postal Code,
and city data. However, the longitude and latitude
values can be omitted because the Destinator
software will query the map you selected in Step 3
above for any missing longitude and latitude. If the
*.csv file does not contain longitudes and latitudes,
the separating commas must still be included, as
Appendix A shows.
6. Convert the .csv file to .dat format by highlighting the
file, entering a Category Name, and selecting the
Convert button. The Report area of the screen will
display a message stating that the content of the file
has been converted and that the file is ready for
download.
7. Download the file to your PDA by selecting the
Download button.
