Instructions on importing POI's to CoPilot

[greencode]

Does anybody know when the Points Of Interest files will be available for download on this site? I would love the football grounds database for the CoPilot Smartphone but cant find one anywhere.

They are available at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/tomtompoi.php

However, like all the POI's they are in TomTom format, so once you unzip and extract the OV2 file, you need to use a util called DUMPOV2 (dos program) available from TomTom's website http://www.tomtom.com/support/ce/support/ov2/ov2tools.zip

Run DUMPOV2 filename.ov2 filename.csv

Then you need to goto the CoPilot Desktop software and import the CSV into a custom category and once imported you can then re-cut your map data and export all the maps (with the new POI's) onto your storage card on your phone.

To find out how to import, follow the instructions for our speed cameras at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/uksafetycameras-copilot.php

It's not a straight forward process and anyone not knowing how to navigate around a PC should undertake this as you are liable to mess your CoPilot up

thanks very much for all your help. I'm not all that good with PC's so i may be a little careful!
