This is how I use Magellan POI File Editor to convert.csv files to.mgln files for Magellan Maestro GPS units: 1. Magellan POI File Editor will create a folder named 'My POIs' in My Documents. Save all downloaded there.
Run Magellan POI File Editor. Click the 'Yellow Folder' to open the default 'My POIs' folder. In 'Files of Type' select 'All Files (.)' and double click on the POI.csv, this will load the file to Magellan File Editor's 'Import wizard'. Set 'Start importing from line:' to be 1 4. Set 'Separator' to be 'Comma' then click Next 5. In the first column use the dropdown menu and select 'Longitude'.
In the second column use the dropdown menu and select 'Latitude'. In the third column select 'Name'. Any other dropdown menus that appear after these first three just leave blank 9. Click 'Finish' and the Magellan POI's will load into a POI file in the upper left corner called 'Default Category' 10.
Right click on 'Default Category' and select 'Modify', in the top of the box that appears where it says 'Name' type the name of the POI, Example -StateParks-USA. You can leave the 'Description' box blank. Select an 'Image' if you want to go with your POI.
Next to 'Distances in:' select measurements in either 'Meters' or 'Feet'. Next to 'Detection Angle:' either use default 90 or change to 180 for a wider area of detection. Select if you want to 'Display this category on the Magellan Maestro map screen ' or not. All the options below the 'Image' selection can be added from the Magellan GPS unit after the POI has been installed.

Click 'OK' 16. Next click the 'Save Icon to the right of the 'Yellow folder' this will create the.mgln file in the 'My POIs' folder. How to save created.mgln file to Magellan GPS device: Open the 'My POIs' folder in My Documents and copy the Magellan POI.mgln file directly to an SD card.
From the Magellan Maestro screen choose: 'Points of Interest' - 'My POIs' - 'Change My POI File' - 'Display Categories' Make sure there is a check mark next to the POI file and click save. Click the back arrow one time and click 'Select Category' and click on the POI. You will have an option of selecting 'Nearest' or 'Spell POI Name'. I use the nearest option (the easiest to use as it will display the closest POI to your location and so on).
