|
|
I have downloaded several categories from the POI database, what I want to know is whether it is possible to download by location rather than by category. I would like (for example) to be able to download all POI in all categories within say 25 miles of my home location. At present, if I download cash point locations for a bank, I have to download them all, even ones hundreds of miles from where I live. If I was planning a holiday in the UK, I might then want to download all POI's in say Cornwall. Is this feasable, or is there some other way around this issue ? |

sorry no i don't think that is possible unless you specifically make the group to your liking ,but as you more than likely seen a poi is either country wide or continent wide ,more due to number of poi's allowed on a unit ..but there is nothing stopping you opening up all the poi and editing them to your liking using ov tools here

and removing all unwanted poi or even making a poi group of your own _________________ TomTom 5001 |

Another option is POIEdit which will require manual editting of any files, there is no way to easily do this by download.
Unless you have a Navman with the silly 12, 000 POI location limit fail to see why you want to reduce the locations? - Mike |

Hi folks,
Is there one that works on a Mac. The 2 mentioned above have .exe files.
I admit that I have not searched the forums, and appologise in advance if there is already a post covering this.
I use Poiview to look at them and it is good app. I don't think they do an edit tool though.
Like the OP said, I wouldn't mind being able to personalise my POIs.

Have you tried a Google search on "Mac POI editor"? It returns many matches, including this one. Not being a Mac user it doesn't mean much to me! _________________ Anita
