I have create PoI files in many different formats with lat, long and title. Is there anyway I can add more details like a URL to link to or a link to a text file?

Thanks

You can add details to the title I believe if your target platform is TomTom, not sure about others.

You can do it by including a > symbol in the description, I beleive this functionality was intended for the inclusion of details like phone numbers.

For example

-1.995172,52.608796,"My Gran's house > 0208-1234567"

though I have never tried adding anything like a text link.

Thanks.

Is there any other way I can do this? Has anyone seen software that allows you to do this? Or can I write something - possibly with TomTom SDK but ideally I would like the software to be multi-platform.

Thanks

You can convert between some POI Formats with POIConverter. This will alow you to convert to a text file, which you can then convert back to your POI Format.

Get it here.
