SWharton Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I am trying to import Days End into MyMaps. I broke DE up into 3 files, all under the 2000 entry limit for a layer. File 1 and 2 import fine. When I try to import File 3 I get the message that Mymaps can't locate the entry, none of them. I have reversed the file but that didn't help. I have copied the first entry latitude and longitude to Google Maps and MyMaps, no problem. I have made this file into a CSV vs. an XLSX and it still gets the error. I am open to any ideas as to what can be wrong and how to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 First question, how are you breaking up the larger file? Second, have you looked at the file in a text editor like Notepad to see if it truly is "comma separated"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWharton Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I broke up the file by making a copy of the original file 3 times. I then take the first 2000 records and create File 1, same for File 2 and 3. Done in Excel. MYMaps can take either an xlsx or csv. Accepts the first 2 fine in xlsx format, doesn't like the third in xlsx format. I only went to csv to try it as an alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Seems like that should have worked. I found this tutorial that might help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWharton Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks Gary, I am well experienced in MyMaps. I use it a lot and this is the first time I have had a hard failure. The tutorial is what I normally do. I guess I will keep playing with the third file, maybe one very bad entry is causing the problem. Though I did create a one entry file and that wouldn't load either. I might need to email support and hope they answer. Happy New Year!!!

Chalkie Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 How many layers do you have in My Maps? I see there is a 10 layer limit. I have not messed around with My Maps that much so this is kind of a thinking exercise for me. Forgive me for asking questions that may be common knowledge for you. Happy New Year to you as well!

SWharton Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Only 3 layers. I even created a new map and tried just that file and it wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisguld Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Can you attach the problem file and I'll try it and see what I can find? I've imported lots of files to MyMaps. Or, if you've already found the problem, let us know. Quote Fulltime RV Travelers since 2003. Now touring the country in 37 ft Gulfstream Endura. With my husband, Jim, we are Geeks on Tour.

SWharton Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 We have resolved it. The first line of the spreadsheet needs to be blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
