Hi everyone. I'm new to this sort of thing, so please treat me like an idiot when explaining stuff to me ( i won't take offence).
I have recently bought TTN5 for my Ipaq hX4700.
No probs with this software, and after alot of trial and error i have got several POI's working on it ok from POI Warner (including the speed camera database of this site).
I have downloaded some POI's from a link on this site, but have realised that they are the wrong format (.csv when i need ov2).
Realising this, i have downloaded the POI converter v3 as suggested in a post on this forum, and this is where i get confused.
Trying to follow the read me file, i get lost/confused and i'm unable to get the files i want converted.
Can some one give me a simple set of instruction on how to do this, or pas on a link so i can get them working??
Thanks for taking the time to read all that and for any help you may offer
Dave

Start POIConverter, file open and select the directory where the .CSV file is located. In type of file select .CSV and click on the .csv file you want to convert.
POIConverter will now show input from directory and the name of the file.
Go to file, save, in the pop-up box, select save as type, select TomTom overlay .ov2. click save.
You will find the .ov2 version of the .csv you have just converted in the same directory as the original .csv

Was really simple when a good set of instructions are provided.
Cheers mate
