• The name must be in quotation marks “ ”
• Lines preceded by a semi-colon “;” are comment lines.
• Longitude and Latitude must be given in degrees and decimal fractions of degrees.
• The longitude is defined on a scale of +180° to -180° or 180° East to 180° West. The latitude it defined on a scope
of 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
• Rename the text file using “.asc” as the extension: e.g.: “MyRestaurants.asc”
• Save the file in the directory of your choice (out of the ViaMichelin tree structure.
