Lose POIs when transfering?

I have downloaded Aires de services camping cars from campingcar-infos . com

When I view the OV.2 file in POI edit I have 2168 places.

When transfered to my iphone, it works perfectly well, but there are only 1727. I use POI viewer on the iphone

Any ideas?

Just a guess...
Does POIViewer have a "horizon" function where it only shows POIs within a certain radius of your current location?
All of the new "NAV3" TomTom hardware models do that, and it's incredibly annoying.

Good idea, but I don`t think thats why.

The total pois are listed on both devices.

Thanks anyhow

Got an actual download link for the POI?
(My French isn't good enough to find it on that site you linked to! Embarassed

)

Sorry, My French is terrible too, hence the confusion.

The POI came from here
http://www.i-campingcar.fr/gps.htm but you have to enter an email and they email it to you.

Thanks

OK, probably not worth me doing that... I was only going to see how many POIs were listed if I opened it in a PC program like POIEdit.

It might have been of some academic interest but of no practical help to your problem!
