 Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2006 8:05 pm Post subject: Zumo POIs in Mapsource ? |
 |
|
| Got my new Zumo yesterday to replace my Ipaq 2210/TT6, its early days yet but I've installed all the POIs I need (converted most from the TomTom using POIConverter and uploaded using Garmins POI Loader), but how do I get the same POIs to be shown in Mapsource on the PC , there doesn't seem to be any way to upload directly from the Zumo, or to put directly into Mapsource. |

Useful info , thanks .. but still doesn't explain if/how to install say, the Pocket GPS Speed Camera database, into Mapsource so they are displayed on the PC

| Use POIConverter to change the files to to .GPX which Mapsourse will open. Or Downdoad the Garmin single file with all camaras GPX from PocketGPSworld. |

For the Speed Camera Database:-
Just download the .gdb file from the database.
Unzip and open the resultant .gdb file.
I have assumed that you already have the MapSource software.
All 11000+ locations will be shown. |

I save all my POIs as CSVs for the Zumo, I thought about GPXs but whilst the Speed Cam database for Garmins Zumo is in CSV,GPX or GDB format , the Garmin POI database on the Pocket GPS site are all CSVs (and POI Converter doesnt handle these).
To get the end result of my own POIs into Mapsource I converted the equivalent OV2s to GPX format and did get them into Mapsource, but decided it was all a fairly pointless exercise as map scrolling was at a snail pace (with 11000+ speed cam icons) plus the icons displayed were different - though with a bit of tweaking I probably could have sorted that. In the end I decided it wasn't worth the hassle!

As far as I am aware the camera display will only show up as a separate entity ie they will not be shown as an overlay or as an integral part of any other map |
