Can i do this?

[buckman]

Looking at all the excellent POI's on this site to download, can i download them to my pc then make up my own folders?

For example can i put the UGC, UCI etc etc Cinemas in my own POI folder called "Cinemas", the same with Mcdonalds, Little Chef, KFC etc it would be much better if i could put all these in one folder called "restaurants" etc

Will this work and how do i do it?

Also is the Ikea Wednesbury missing from the IKEA POI?

Yes you can do his but it's a bit of a fiddle!

You need to download WinOV2. This will allow you to decompress the ov2 files to ascii. Once the files are ascii, you can cut and paste POIs into the same file and recompress back to an OV2 with the same tool.

You'll probably want to edit the names, too, in order to indicate what they are.

For example, I assume all the Little Chef POIs as supplied simply have names relating to the location - e.g. Scotch Corner - so you may want to change this to LC - Scotch Corner, KFC - Derby, McD - Leamington, etc.

This can most easily be done by getting all the data into a spreadsheet, and using a text formula to add your prefaces. [Come back if you need more detailed instructions].
