I will be using the "Simple Menu" or "Menu With Image" plugin. My data comes from a CSV file so if you can direct me to a tool that can convert it to a JSON file, I'd appreciate that. I have previously used Stobes tool to make a JSON file that worked as a source for a map using "Map Location" plugin, and this works fine but i don't think i can use this for my new - menu - purpose. As always - Thanks guys!

SmugWimp Smugger than thou... Posts: 6316 Reg: Nov 07, 2012 Tamuning, GU 81,410	05/09/16 05:51 PM (8 years ago) I modified the shan carter script for Buzztouch use; just unzip it and set it up in your BT Control panel. https://www.marianasgps.com/public/sjcon.zip contains a php file (for the server) and an html file (for local use). Works fine, lasts a long time.
