You'll need to run it through POIedit, save to Garmin CSV format.

There might be a problem with the height measurement in the last field as it uses a quote mark (") for inches as the field itself is quoted being text. Not sure if there's an escape character that the i3 uses but you'd be better off doing a search and replace on this so it reads as, for example, "16 feet 0 inches" instead of "16' 0"". As each height is in a separate file this will be very easy to do.

Open the Tom Tom ov2 files in POIedit, then simply save as Garmin Comma Separated (*.csv) files, this is an option in the file type drop down when you do Save As. Save with the same file name as the ov2 file but obviously with a .csv extension.

Now open your new CSV file in Notepad and use the Search and Replace in the Edit menu to do the following:

Search for the height i.e. 16' 0" and replace with 16 feet 0 inches, retain the wrapping quotes.

Now do another Search and Replace for inches" and replace with inches",.

Now paste ;Longitude,;Latitude,;Name,;Details into the top line of your file and save.

Upload the .csv files to your i3 along with the .bmp images that came with the original download.

Have done this successfully myself, don't think I've left anything off... Rolling Eyes
