Has anyone had problems with the latest downloads from the Club site for ‘Overseas Site Locations’ (ie the .csv files that have to be loaded into the Garmin POI (Points of Interest) to give site locations)?

A few days ago I downloaded the three files from the club site (UK Club Sites, UK CLs, Overseas Sites). The first two loaded into my Garmin without trouble. The last one, file ccluboverseasgarminnavman.csv , wouldn’t load, with the warning from Garmin POI loader:

There is a data format error on line 103 of file C:\Users\derek\Downloads/ccluboverseasgarminnavman.csv

I re-downloaded from the Club site another couple of times in case it was a corruption in the transmission, but got the same result. Thus, there seems to be a corruption in the Caravan Club’s download.

I contacted the Club and asked them if they could fix it, but just got the answer back, “Contact Garmin”! As far as I can see, it has nothing to do with Garmin, and have suggested this to the Club. So far I’ve had no reply. So I’m checking if anyone has had similar problems.

It's not only Garmin but the other Sat Nav manufacturers that also have the information missing. See photo below of TomTom showing missing site in the sea. Sorry about the size cannot get it any bigger

Perhaps it is a site designed for 'Trailer Sailers'??! The problem is not the fault of Garmin though. The Garmin only sucks in the data supplied by the Caravan & Motor Home Club and it is this data that is wrong.
