Downloading POIs

Se7ens · Occasional Visitor Joined: Jan 07, 2005 Posts: 3

I'm having problems sending scamera database files to my 510. When I send the file it seems to download to the device but then comes up with the error message "No POI's found in input file" Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Are you following the instructions found here to the letter?

I've checked my procedure against the instructions and I seem to be doing evrything correctly, yet it still displays the error message. It's most strange as I can see the data in the POI editor Exclamation

Yes, I could also see the data in the POIEditor even when it wouldn't transfer to my device. However, following those instructions exactly cured my ills, and those of most others' it would appear. The use of Notepad instead of Excel is absolutely critical. Other than that, I can send you the gatso file I successfully transferred to my iPAQ if you want.

Hi Tim,

I have installed the list of camera pois as you had describe. It works correct.

But my question here is: What can I do, if I have many list of camera pois ( 20km/h, 30km/h, 50km/h etc.) and I want to append all this lists as one list for MY POI?

You can use Oldie's POI Converter V3, which you can download from here. It has an 'Append' function which will allow you to open many POI files (of the same extension type, I assume) and Append them into one big one. I don't know what might happen if two points use the same name or coordinates but you might find out, and let us know if you do.

Hi Tim,

I have tested POI format conversion!
You can append some files with the same extension type to a new file.

When you try to open this new file with the POI Editor on SmartST V3, you get an error message "unknown file format". So you can't use this utility for Navman iCN 510.

Right, when you've appended the files you want, save the file as a .csv and then open it again using Notepad. Strip out the top line of Long, Lat, "Name", Information and save again. You should then be able to import the file into POIEditor.

I can not see what I am doing wrong, but I am having the same problem. I will try again but cannot see where I am going wrong.

5th attempt went well, although still unsure what I was doing wrong.

The individual files in the Speed zoned directory are to replace the Gatso and Mobile files in the root. I have the individual Gatso files and the 'main' files for SPECS, Mobile, Temp and redlight.

Okay - I'm still confused with what to do with them!!! Do I just load on the cameras that are in the Gatso, specs, redlight, mobile and temp files (like I always have) or do I also need to download the zoned folders? Basically, if I just do the former, will I have all the speed cams on my 510?
