START 60 - Importing OV2s

PHILIP2908 · Lifetime Member Joined: Apr 03, 2005 Posts: 17

Hi All,
Been a member for a good number of years and its ages since I last used the forum.
I've had a good search but come up with nothing as the forum is MASSIVE !!
So, at the risk of duplicating (apologies in advance):
Q: I've bought a START 60 to replace my old XXL and cant see how to import the OV2s. I'm using a MAC lappie.
Any suggestions on how to go about this?
Thanks in advance.
Phil

The simple answer is you can't, or not the way you want to Sad

You can add ov2 files via MyDrive (or whatever they call it now), but no image file to identify it and no sounds for proximity alerts. All you will get is a white circle where your POI is and the ability to navigate to it.

I've got the same problem as Philip, does anyone know of a workaround?

As far as anybody knows, there isn't one. Sad

The latest TT's of the last few years or so do not allow third party POI's with the required advance warning that cameras need.

= as above, can't be done any more.

The answer to your next question is Garmin Smile

I made this very same decision a year or so ago for the very same reason. I opted for the Garmin 2699LMT-D. The more people make the move away from TT, the more they should sit up and listen but, as is the norm, people tend to be creatures of habit.

The majority of people who have sat-nav's only use their basic functionality for getting from A to B and don't know how to tweak the devices for extended uses.
