    For "free" Fon wifi locations they have reinstated the ability to dowload the POI files for each country from their maps page.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,362 ✭✭✭Trotter


    How do I add the PoI's to the unit once I've downloaded them?

    For example, I can download a file called Supermarkets that should contain PoI's for al types of supermarkets.
    Where do I put that file?

    Im using a Tomtom One Europe..

    Thanks!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 578 ✭✭✭inode


    im usin router 66. anything for that?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,026 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    For either the Tomtom or route66 you just need to select the file type from the pull down list on the poihandler download page. For Tomtom One the TomTom Go option should give you the file in the .ov2 format that you need.

    Is there anyway of downloading all the files at once, rather than one at a time?

    Not sure about this , but does anyone know where we could host the files we upload so that other Boards users can download the files handy .


  • Registered Users, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 6,514 Mod ✭✭✭✭sharkman


    Hi Bedlam , Thanks for the uploads , noticed some of them the other day . Zip files would have to be under 100.0 KB , would this be a problem?

    Anyone know of any POI's for the Medion GoPal I got from Aldi?

    It seems to have quite a few preloaded but speed camera's would be handy

    That's cos there's f**k all fixed speed cameras in Ireland, for now. Most speed traps here are mobile gatso vans or gardai with laser speed detectors.

    or for a Garmin nuvi? there seems to be f**k all POIs for speed cameras in Ireland.
    Hi El Diablo, I've put together my own list, which you can see here: Garda Hotspots
    If you pm me your e-maill address, I'll send you a copy..
    I'd convert them to TomTom-friendly format, if someone could point me in the direction of an appropriate tool.

    What has to be the simplest way of uploading POI's that I have come across yet has to be what they have at pocketgpsworld.com. You'll need to become a free member before you can access them but creating new POI's is just a matter of clicking the location in the GoogleMaps api, and their interface for downloading seems to be very simple as well. They have very few locations for Ireland yet but as it's just a case of clicking through the maps to add new ones rather than messing around with various file formats it shouldn't be to hard to add to their database.
